Author: Sarah Mendez

Hivemind Writer & Escape Room Reviewer: Even though Sarah has been puzzling since Monkey Island, her escape room obsession didn’t fully materialize until she started playing them with her husband in 2019. They found escape rooms to be a way to appreciate each others’ strengths, stretch communication skills, and share adventure. Together, they explore IRL rooms, tabletop games, online offerings, and even creating their own experiences. Meanwhile, Sarah’s two kids (ages 7 and 10) help her evaluate games from a family perspective and are eager to follow in their parents’ footsteps. As a player, Sarah wants to feel accomplishment and camaraderie with her team, so multi-layered deductions, satisfying discoveries, and collaboration opportunities always woo her. In her regular life, Sarah spends her time parenting, road-tripping, writing, and making plans. That’s all exactly as mysterious as it sounds.
