HUNTS and CONTESTS

Our love of treasure hunts is what started us up in this business. For Erica it dates back to her early childhood where often times presents were not given but earned after following long and complicated series of clues. (This was especially true for Easter Baskets.) Erica's father is a fantastic clue writer, famous for obscure and heady hints. He still offers creative contributions that we use in the Escape Room to this day. Famously, he wrote the pithy “McCarthy’s bane” clue. Naturally the follow-up clue was hidden in the only red tulip in the garden. Can our followers tell us why? Somehow the young Erica and sister Alix once did, and well before the Internet.

One goal of Erica’s is to create a world-wide treasure hunt with a fantastic final prize. This hunt would be available to only the very worthy, the most brainy, the most stalwart clues finders among us. We picture a clue hidden behind a loose brick of the pyramids, another buried in a coffin, perhaps another on the top of Kilimanjaro. Do you get the drift? Rob is on board as a skilled maker of things, capable of making sure the moving parts move. He may not be willing to climb Kilimanjaro again for the sake of a hunt, but then again, never say never. As for now, we are constantly expanding into the stratosphere with greater and greater outreach. My recommendation, take us up on trying our Cross Country Treasure Hunts. They are basically our escape rooms on the road, less constricted and cheaper. One of our newest hunts takes us through Jamaica, Vermont, (named not for the island but for the Natick word for “Beaver.”) That one is in our own home town.

CUSTOM TREASURE HUNTS

Stratton Escape Room will create treasure hunts to order for your large or small occasion. Give us some time and we will create a hunt for any age group from children's parties to corporate events. As the ultimate cooperative game, it can be a great ice-breaker or team builder.

FREE CONTESTS and PUZZLES

We can't resist offering free challenges to whomever will take them. With some frequency, we will announce contests on our Facebook page. Sometimes it will be a find-and-seek scenario. Other times it will be a creative challenge. Either way, we will offer prizes: discount or free tickets.

TRAVELING ESCAPE BOX

We have created a traveling "Escape Box" for rent at parties and events. This is a miniaturized version of the escape room with its own theme, meant to be solved in 15 to 20 minutes. We will offer multiple timed sessions of 2-3 people per time with the potential to hide prizes within.
