Whole Brain Escape Room Fun Facts

Bustin’ Out of the Eighties

Designed with intentionally skewed walls, our rooms feature corners that form obtuse and acute angles instead of right angles. This creates an off-kilter effect, just like the disruption of the fabric of time!

Curse of the Crimson Dragon

This room features a handmade wooden lock made by a wood carver who lives in Spain.

Seekers of the Mystic Orb

While the theme might appear to be inspired by adventure movies, it’s actually a tribute to the macabre fiction of various turn-of-the-century authors.

Mystery of the Mad Scientist

The original game looked like an actual laboratory — white walls, metal instruments, and glass beakers, which lacked color and interest. So, it was changed to the laboratory of a mad scientist who’s been experimenting with madness itself. The room is brightly lit, colorful, and somewhat psychedelic.
