An Octopus Escapes a Room!

1–2 minutes

Art of an octopus resting on the oceanbed.

For your quarantine viewing pleasure: an octopus (my favorite animal) escapes a series of 4 escape room challenges.

This little cthulhu puts on a good show.

I’m not gonna lie… I’ve played with less effective human teammates.

Good thing I don’t have 8 hands, I would be an even bigger menace in escape rooms. Very interesting 10 minutes 🙂
