Escape Room Montana: 1 Room. 1 Mystery. 5 Folks & A Bunch of Clues.

Angie Ripple

Escape Rooms are a worldwide phenomenon becoming increasingly popular around the country​.​ ​ In Belgrade, MT you can experience it all for yourself, if you have the intellect and determination.

Tim and Chiara Schober, creators of past local haunts, have put together Escape Room Montana to tease and tantalize the intellect of willing participants. Their current room has an espionage theme ​where, provided with a series of clues, you have one hour to find the hidden negatives, disable the alarm, and escape before the evil Dr. Ohno returns.  If you trigger the alarm within the hour, Dr. Ohno's henchmen will capture you.

It’s easy to book your group of 5 online for an hour of fun and social interaction. I highly recommend booking the full 5, as each player will bring a needed strength to the mystery solving​. ​ I also recommend inviting some smart friends, several of mine work at MSU’s Renne Library, and still we were seconds away from breaking the code necessary to escape in time. ​ ​More importantly you’ll need willing participants with a can-do attitude for this really fun and socially intelligent activity. A cool thing about the Escape Room phenomena is that is appeals to a wide range of participants who are willing to use their wits, intuition, logic, and communication to solve a puzzle.

The Schobers are considering adding a viewing room where spouses or friends can watch the action as it unfolds. Currently the Escape Room Montana staff are in on the mystery solving with cameras in the escape room, they observe the progress and are available with clues to speed up the process if necessary. As a viewer you’ll get a kick out of the level of skill as well as be entertained by the trials of the gumshoes. If the viewing room doesn’t happen another room is sure to open for the haunting Halloween season. Think haunted house meets Fear Factory in one awesome room to escape from!
