There Are a Few Tickets Left For Our Escape Room Tour in November ⏳

by Lisa Spira, posted in Tours

Before the pandemic, this tour was sold out, but the plans had to change (a few times), and as a result… now’s your chance to join in the fun.

One of the things we missed the most in 2020 was Escape Immerse Explore.

These escape room tours gather a group of us with a common love of these games together to appreciate some of the best in the business. Each tour is 1-3 days to play, discuss, and experience together.

Escape Immerse Explore 2021 The Hayden Farm features a creepy black, white, and grey aesthetic.

The Hayden Farm

The Hayden Farm is the setting of some of the most delightful games in our home region.

13th Hour Escape Rooms is northern New Jersey’s most consistently high-quality escape room company. They are a two-time Golden Lock Award winner (2017 & 2018).

They have a whimsical style all their own. It’s a little bit creepy, but not scary. Their games are playful.

With a background in haunts, 13th Hour Escape Rooms builds outstanding sets that utilize space so well for puzzles, surprises, and memorable scenes.

They also have a unique approach to actors… these folks roam the farm on occasion, and they’ll be around for this event, for those who are interested in this unusual twist (totally optional!).

Wharton, NJ

Located in Wharton, NJ, The Hayden Farm is rather inaccessible for a New Yorker or a casual escape room tourist.

It’s an hour by car from Manhattan and 40 minutes by car from Newark airport. Unfortunately, it’s not near public transit.

However, we’ve solved your transportation puzzle with Escape Immerse Explore: The Hayden Farm. We’re running a bus from Manhattan out to Wharton for a full day of 4 games at 13th Hour Escape Rooms.

Join us Sunday, November 14, 2021 for Escape Immerse Explore: The Hayden Farm.

What About Montreal?

Yes, Escape Immerse Explore Montreal is finally happening this October!

It is sold out and there is a waitlist. It will be our largest tour yet, and our first international tour. We’re excited to make this event a reality.

Many of the folks joining us in Montreal will be coming to The Hayden Farm as well. So if you missed out on Montreal tickets, you can get the inside scoop from them, and start planning a future trip to our northern neighbor.

REA Statement on COVID-19

by Lisa Spira, posted in Conferences, Events, RECON, Tours

We are hosting two escape room tours and a convention in 2020.

We feel it is our responsibility as event organizers to address concerns around COVID-19.

Last night we published the Reality Escape Convention’s Statement on COVID-19.

We realize that the tours are approaching more quickly than RECON. These are smaller events with less risk of exposure. That said, we are monitoring the situation closely and we will be sharing updates with our attendees as they become available.

In all cases, our sentiment and approach remains the same:

We’re going to do the research and hard work to take care of our attendees. If you were on our New Orleans Tour last year when a hurricane struck, you would have seen how tirelessly we worked to turn that event into a success through dedication, adaptability, and a near total lack of sleep.

We truly appreciate those who have purchased tickets to our 2020 events already. We want the rest of the community to purchase with confidence that those hosting them are attentive, responsive, and alert.

Last Chance To Book Escape, Immerse, Explore: The Palace

by David Spira, posted in Tours

It’s getting to be that time folks. We’re down to the last few tickets to our brand new tour Escape, Immerse, Explore: The Palace.

This trip to San Francisco is going to be amazing. We’d love to have you join us.

Escape Immerse Explore Palace logo, uses art deco design elements.

We have updates on a few topics:

  • Schedule Updates
  • Key Dates
  • Partial Tickets
  • Escape The Palace/ Talk Tickets

Tour Schedule Updates

We’ve made a few schedule updates:

The development of Palace Games’ 4th installment is running behind, so we had to pull it from the schedule. In its place, we will have EscapeSF’s Space Bus dock in Palace Games’ parking lot.

In-game: The Space Bus school bus with the Transamerica Pyramid in the background

Additionally, we will now be running Escape The Palace as a group event. This large-scale event requires a minimum of 30 people. We’re thrilled to include it on our tour. All ticket holders will play Escape the Palace together.

Key Dates

Booking Deadline

The absolute last day that we’ll be selling tickets is April 10th (if we don’t sell out first).

Hotel Deal Deadline

We have a group rate for a local hotel that ends on April 1st. If you’d like all the hotel information, book your tour tickets before April 1st.

Partial Tickets

If you’ve played some of the games on this tour already, but you still want to be a part of this event, this is the ticket for you.

With a partial ticket, you will play 2 escape rooms (instead of 4). You will participate in all the other parts of the tour including:

  • Lisa and David as escape room tour guides
  • Sunday Escape The Palace group event with all tour participants
  • A talk by Lisa and David
  • One group meal
  • Event t-shirt
  • Networking with other tour attendees
  • The option to play an escape room with Lisa or David
  • Teammates who are as excited about this trip as you are!
  • … and surprises!

To purchase a partial ticket, contact us. Please include a note with which game(s) you’ve ALREADY played. Please select Weekend ($499) or Weekday ($449).

Including partial tickets in the tour is a bit of a logistical complication on our end. To make this go smoothly, we’re skipping the order form and asking you to just contact us.

Escape The Palace/ Talk Tickets

This ticket type is geared toward San Francisco locals who have played all the games at Palace Games. It includes the Escape the Palace group event, a talk by Lisa and David, and a meal.

These activities will all take place on Sunday, June 2.

This ticket gives you the opportunity to meet all the wonderful folks coming to San Francisco for this event.

Ticket price is $84.

To purchase a ticket, fill out the order form and we’ll invoice you to complete the purchase.

Escape, Immerse, Explore: NOLA

We still have tickets available for our New Orleans tour. If you’ve never been, you really don’t want to miss this.

Buy these tickets before they sell out! It’s going to be another amazing weekend.
