🧩 Ever Wonder How We Dream Up Our Escape Room Themes? 🏡✨
It’s not just picking a “spooky” or “adventure” vibe and calling it a day! At Crooked Cottage, here’s how the magic happens:
🗺️ We Look at Our Space
Our 100+ year-old house is full of character. Creaky floors, hidden corners, vintage details—it inspires us to create immersive themes that feel real.
🖋️ We Write Stories First
Every room starts as a story or sometimes a prop: lost temples, haunted cult houses, mad science labs. We want you to feel like you’re in the space, not just solving puzzles.
🛠️ We Hand-Build Everything
From creepy outhouses to ancient ruins, we design and build the props ourselves. No cookie-cutter kits here! It's all made to fit our weird, wonderful ideas. Shout out to our handymen who never tell us it's impossible to build.
🧠 We Test, Break, and Improve
Our poor friends and family test the rooms over and over. We tweak puzzles to be challenging but fair, and add clues that make you go “OH!” when you see the answer.
🫶 We Listen to YOU
Guest feedback is gold. Your screams, laughter, and even complaints help us refine our themes and plan the next big idea.
Because for us, it’s not just about locks and codes. It’s about telling stories, making memories, and giving you 60 minutes you’ll never forget.
