Ahh, I love that! I'm going to definitely make sure we have a few puzzles that involve people needing to be on both sides of a wall, because those are my favorite too!

Have fun! I'm sure you will do an amazing job. The video looks great, and I love how it looks like there will be a historical aspect to it.
Yes, thank you!! Pulling from actual historical figures and situations was a big part of why I wanted to do this. I love history and stuff.

Yes. If you're ever in Saskatchewan, Canada, hit me up.

Everyone in our area is charging roughly $25 a person, so that's what we'll be doing, and from a business end of things it would be hard to charge much less than that and make any money.

I certainly agree that it gets expensive... I watch my bank account shrink everywhere I travel somewhere new, haha.

I saw one video where there was some writing underneath a table that one of the people noticed and they thought it was the next clue, but in reality it was just a random mark from the manufacturer, but they used a ton of time trying to figure out what it meant and that cost them victory. I would be furious if that happened to me.
Yup. Some escape room designers actually put in red herrings on purpose, and I think that's an awful idea.
