The time I went to an escape room was one of the best and worst times of my life. My friends and I thought that doing an escape room would be a great way to celebrate my friend's birthday; that was until, well when we entered the building.
"It's your B-Day, Happy, Happy Birthday" I sang with joy as we entered the building.
"You're embarrassing me!" Friend 1 groaned. We all looked around the lobby room taking in all the details, a massive red door in the side, a desk with an attendant sitting near it, and three benches alongside each wall. We all sat down while Friend 1's mom checked us in.
Friend 2 kicked her feet in excitement. "Guys I'm so exc-"
"AAAAAAAAAAHHH, PLEASE NO, HELP ME PLEASE!" An unknown girl screamed behind the massive door. Everyone, except for the attendant, had been stunned. I nearly jumped 6ft. into the air.
"So sorry guys! That was just one of the room's jumpscares. We'll warn you next time when one of them is about to happen." The attendant lady apologized. All 4 of us stared at each other deciding whether or not coming here was a huge mistake. A few minutes later, a lady, appearing to be in her young low-twenties, came from behind the massive, red door and called for us to come to our escape room. She explained that her name was classified, and that she'd be the one monitoring us and giving us clues. She brought us to our escape room and closed the door.
"You have an hour to escape the room, your timer starts now." a robotic voice said from the monitor screen. Within seconds we all started freaking out.
"OMG OMG OMG WE'RE GONNA DIE HERE, WE'RE TRAPPED FOREVER!" Friend 2 cried out.
"GUYS LOCK IN! Start looking for clues." Friend 3 had started commanding everyone what to do. All three of us had started looking and were investigating the prison decorated room when suddenly.
I jumped for joy, holding a clue in my hand "OMG GUYS LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND ITS A RUBBER GU-"
"IT'S MINE" Friend 2 snatched it from my hands. We started to mess around with it trying our best to figure out what it was for. Eventually we figured out that it was a key for a vault under the prison bed. Thirty minutes had passed, and all of us were locked in and doing great with the clues, but then, it happened. Friend 2 and I decided to search the first room for more clues when he heard a weird noise.
"He's coming.." a voice whispered.
"Did you hear that?" I asked, scared.
"Yeah, I heard it, but who's 'he'..?" Friend 2 questioned.
The whisper came back, "He's coming.. He's coming.. HE'S HE-" the lights immediately turned off and the sounds of a gunshot and a girl screaming filled our ears. It was too dark to see when something jumped on me. Stunned, I fell to the floor. It was quiet for the next few seconds. The lights turned back on and I realized the "thing" that had jumped on me was Friend 2. We were both hugging ourselves with our eyes filled with tears, that's when we heard a ding come from the monitor screen. We both got up and looked at the screen, it was a message from the lady who was monitoring us.
The screen read, "Sorry girls, just a little prank to throw you guys off "
"Don't tung tung cry!!" she said while pulling up an image of Tung Tung Sahur on the monitor screen. Rage filled me and Friend 2, we were so upset that we started yelling at her through the monitor cameras. Overall, we had an amazing time at the escape room!! read more
