Hivemind Writer & Escape Room Reviewer: Sarah is a teacher-turned-information architect-turned-pandemic homeschooler who’s been puzzling since Monkey Island, but only started serious escape-rooming in 2019. After exhausting her local Austin market, she and her husband (the “Escape Room-antics”!) couldn’t travel far for their new hobby without abandoning their young kids. Logically, Sarah’s only recourse was to develop her own garage escape room…until the pandemic unexpectedly brought new experiences straight to her. As a player, Sarah wants to feel accomplishment and camaraderie with her team, so multilayered deductions, satisfying discoveries, and collaboration opportunities always woo her. Trivia, singing, and acting do not.
