I’m going to give that one a try. I think I can make it work. “I’m so happy you are the female of our union” can’t possibly be taken badly.

I can picture them just yelling at each other with constant record scratches as they each interrupt the other one. Could be a good Always Sunny skit.

I don't "get" escape rooms. There are too many rules and no consequences for failing so people just gently caress around. It's hard to get a rush from it if you know you'll just be let out anyway after the hour or whatever is up.

Maybe they should like charge twice as much per person to do the escape room, but you get half your money back if you win Make it a little more interesting without it being too many people's fetish

Spending money to prove you are a failure is enough of a consequence for most people to care enough to actually try. It's kind of like golf.

I was picturing something where you sign a legal waiver where you just can't get out until you solve it and they supply you with food/water so you don't die. I mean, you'd have to be extremely dense to be stuck in them for a long time but it would at least add some thrill to the experience.

I think escape rooms are fun just for the challenge of a puzzle to be solved. I don't know anyone that does them for a "rush."

Like, knowing you can look up a faq, or reload a save?

There are a whole lot of things people pay to experience that have nothing to do with adrenaline, like a good meal in a pleasant setting. I like imagining you literally only paying for experiences that give you that rush and travelling exclusively by wingsuit or w/e

I think they're just supposed to be a light hearted fun thing to do with some friends, like a big boardgame, and then you all go grab a burger or whatever and give each other poo poo for screwing up.

I've never done Escape The Room stuff before. My only concern is whether they ventilate the rooms and clean them up afterwards. I would hate to be stuck in a stuffy room stinking of some stranger's odors with my friends for an hour

It's kind of a pedantic thing to me, but when I hear "escape" I feel like there should be some level of danger involved. If they just called them puzzle rooms or whatever I'd be fine with it.

LoL I manage a trio of giant escape room down south, we sell between 50-500 tickets in a week. The vacation season is picking up and we’re starting to get slammed. Escape rooms are fun because it’s an all-ages group activity that rewards people for using your brain. What group activities can you think of really focus on that? Bar Trivia//Quizzo? Game Night at a friends house? Movies, bars, restaurants, these places are stimulating but don’t require intense thought, in fact you’re probably trying to shut your brain off. Escape rooms provide a memorable group experience where people get to go a teensy bit outside their comfort zone and feel like they outsmarted something. Like really before I started working here I had no concept how much money you could make but basically once the room is built and your puzzles are sound it’s just a matter of fixing things drunk people break and you can charge kind of whatever you want.

gently caress, I love going to them because it makes me feel smart, without cheating. And yeah, it's pretty easy to get into. Also, my city has now got like crazy poo poo. Like the national nature museum has two rooms. Or the world's largest escape room in the nuclear bomb bunker that the Canadian Government would have used.

I do agree that cheating is pretty lame though.

For fucks sake, it's a fun activity to do with friends. Like bowling, curling or watermelon seed spitting. I've done it once, had a fun time and would do another escape room in the future.

We’re set up in a vacation spot so it’s like 60% families or vacation groups, 20% drunk friends hanging out, 10% nerds and tryhards who take it mega seriously, and 10% bored people who have done literally everything else to do in town and it’s raining.

You fuckers got to get to some Escape rooms in China then because they turn that poo poo up to 11. They broke our team of 10 into groups of 5 and we had to use clues in Dark Cells with flashlights to help each other Escape our cells then we had to crawl through ducts to find more clues while going through laser trapped rooms and a whole bunch of stuff that kind of made you feel like a spy it was actually pretty loving awesome and we would have won the room we were in except we couldn't figure out how to work a Chinese safe at the end but they gave us credit for the win since we found out the combination. What I'm saying is that US Escape rooms where you only have an hour and it's one boring-rear end room is bullshit you haven't lived until you've had to push the cell you were in to reveal a hidden Passage that poo poo was nuts.

Surprise, I know. Actually, it's lovely towards all of the employees but it's harder being hourly because most of us live paycheck to paycheck and are considered replaceable.  I suggest unionizing. I am being dead serious here. Management cannot and will not take workers seriously because the state of unskilled workers' rights and labor rights in general has deteriorated all to poo poo and back in this country. We need unions. Hourly workers especially. I would like nothing better than a universal retail strike
