Sami and William Garrison run the Sioux City business The Greatest Escape, which allows visitors to solve puzzles, crack codes and find keys to escape three different kinds of rooms.
And if you trap them in a room, they will solve a series of riddles before making a great escape.
That's the premise behind The Greatest Escape, a 2540 Glenn Ave., business which advertises itself as being Sioux City's first escape room. Â
According to co-owner Sami Garrison, participants have an hour to use their wits, skills and intellect to solve puzzles, crack codes and find keys that will ultimately allow them to escape three deceptively-decorated rooms.
The first room -- set inside a posh apartment and known as "The Hostage" -- will put you inside a John La Care type of thriller.
Room number two -- known as "The Pirate ship" -- gives you a chance to get your sea legs in a Jack Sparrow sort of way.
And the third room is called "The Cannibal's Cabin." We don't know much about it. But if somebody offers you an hors d'oeuvre, it might be safe to pass on it.
"I think this would be perfect for children wanting something to do on the weekends or bachelorettes looking for a very nontraditional type of party," Garrison said. "I can even see corporations using this a team-building activity."
After all, what says togetherness better than being locked in the same room while you're conspiring to get out.
