Circus birthday party

We did the Circus Medrano for my daughter's 11th birthday party, it was a blast! The girls loved it. It's my favorite one so far! We also really liked Houdini's secret room and Professor Swen's Lab.

Fun for ALL ages.

Downloaded the Medrano Circus Escape Room and loved the compatibility with the App. We had two teams work simultaneously on two separate iPads and it was perfect! One hiccup is that if your device is not set up to allow the app to access the camera it will interrupt the experience and you'll have to go back to the beginning and plug in all the previous answers, make sure you use pen an paper to record. Not a huge deal, but interrupted momentum. We had two groups of 11 year olds play and they probably got 85% of the puzzles without help. We then had a group of 8 year olds attempt and they needed more help, probably closer to 50%. The music in the app really added to the experience and the spookiness. The 8 year olds got a little scared the further they advanced, but overall everyone had a great time! From beginning to end probably took just over an hour. I will definitely be back to try another escape room.

Circus Medrano Comes to Africa!

Greetings from beautiful Uganda, the Pearl of Africa! ??? We wanted to let you all know how much our students enjoyed solving the mystery of Medrano Circus. First, some background… We are house parents at The Amazima School, a secondary boarding school in Jinja. We oversee a dorm of 18 Ugandan teenage boys, ranging in age from 16-20. All of these guys come from hard places and have experienced some level of trauma. Our role is to provide a safe, loving environment while they are at school and to cultivate partnership with their families and guardians to ensure a quality education as well as spiritual growth. One of their favorite Saturday night activities is the Escape Room Geeks games. When they returned to the house from dinner last weekend to find it decorated and set up, they broke into big smiles and did, “Yay!! Escape room!” They were delighted! This is our third Escape Room Geeks game night at our house. And it did not disappoint. We decorated the dorm with brightly colored balloons and played circus music. We played the the opening story from the app, then divided them into three teams of 6 and sent them into their rooms with the first challenge. Each team had an adult mentor with a phone and the apo, as the students themselves do not have phones at school. At certain points when they completed a challenge, we rewarded the teams with circus themed treats such as peanuts and sodas. We even recruited two small children from a couple that lives on campus to act as our kidnap victims so when they solved the final challenge, they actually had to find the door with the correct address and open it. When they did, out came the two children, excitedly thanking them for rescuing them. Afterwards, when the teams completed the game, we gave them funnel cakes as a treat. They had never had them before and they really enjoyed them. They said this was the best one yet, but also for them the easiest as they are becoming pros at solving escape rooms. :-) Next term, we plan to do another. Unfortunately, we are unable to send many photos, due to a strict school policy of not taking and/or publishing photos of the students’ faces. We are attaching a few from various escape rooms that do not show their faces. Thank you all for providing such excellent games. We have never been disappointed. And here at the school, we emphasize critical thinking skills and creative problem solving, so they are perfect vehicles for our students to exercise in a practical way the skills they are developing at the school. Looking forward to the next escape room night!

Circus Escape for 14 year olds

My daughter and 6 of her friends had a great time completing the escape room. Group was mostly 14 yo with a couple 13 yo. It took them about 75 minutes to complete and our only “complaint”/tip is to ignore the keys of the piano. Our group was full of band and choir kids who solved based on the piano, not the book and the piano was not accurate. Wouldn’t be an issue for the majority of kids, and after a confusing 10-15 minutes, we figured out why they weren’t getting it! Also, the app can be very picky with how things are entered to be accepted. Not sure there’s a way to fix that, so we just made sure we were there in case something was rejected when it was correct. I decorated an area to the theme to make it more realistic for the party. I also added a box with an actual lock for the music box code thinking it would add to the experience. It really threw the girls off and I wouldn’t do it that way again lol Overall, for an at home escape room, it was great. Very fun watching the girls get excited when they figured something out and watching them piece things together. Company was very responsive to email questions before I purchased as well. Thanks!

Solving the mystery in Baraboo, Wisconsin, home of the International Clown Hall of Fall and the Circus World Museum.

Our middle school youth gathered in a circus themed room to solve the Medrano Circus Mystery. This escape room kept the kids engaged, working together, and was easy for us to put together. It was fun coming up with a menu for supper - food you would buy at a circus. We ended the night by watching The Greatest Showman. I even suggested we use another escape room and do one for adults sometime.

Fun!!!

I bought this for two 9 year olds, a 6 year old and a 40 year old. Was perfect for the 9 year old. It was a bit challenging at times but I hats part of the fun! I do cut things out before bc I didn’t want them to lose their momentum worrying about cutting.

Totally worth it!

AWESOME! A fantastic activity for family and/or friends. We did this with a group ranging from 7 years - 43 and everyone enjoyed it just as much and felt challenged and successful at the same time! Highly recommend this activity..

Thanksgiving Escape Room Surprise

I am always so skeptical about these types of deals on Facebook however I have made my own Escape Rooms in the past and the kids were begging me for another one to do on Thanksgiving...I thought for $19 I would try it. So...went out on a limb and tried it... turns out it was amazing! Customer service was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had...the game would be great as is but I added a few more aspects to it such as hiding keys to lock boxes for the scissors and glue etc that was needed.... I thought my kids would need more help solving (10/8yrs) but they only asked for one hint! The hours I saved in coming up with a story line and activities on my own is well worth the money and the kids want me to do another tomorrow. One major dislike I had was that the amount of ink it took to print it all out...maybe a more printer friendly set would be so much better. With that being said, I would still purchase another one!
