Happy Friday!  Today I address a very important question before this train really gets rollin': what is an escape room? If you're in the dark about this, don't worry. Escape rooms are a fairly new phenomenon, especially in the US. So here's a brief explanation and history of one of the (if not the) fastest growing segments of the entertainment industry... Escape games are like a scavenger hunt, a haunted house, and interactive theater all rolled into one. They are not always scary, no, but when done right they are absolutely thrilling. And you don't have to be an actor to participate, but ever ..read more

We are so excited for this rendition of A Speakeasy Murder.

Mmmm, German food…. Our co-founder Evan Wilson knows good German food. After all, he lived in Munich for two years! So take it from him, Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus Brewhaus knows what they’re doing when it comes to crafting authentic Bavarian cuisine - one of the reasons we selected the Bigham Knoll Campus as a venue location for our A Speakeasy Murder mystery party. If you’ve never visited the Bigham Knoll campus, you are missing out! It is the site of an historic schoolhouse and now home to the best European cuisine in Southern Oregon… it also houses a number of beautiful event spaces perfect ..read more

There’s no better way to describe our situation than “blessed”. We make a living sharing something we LOVE with the world. How amazing is that? We recognize that there’s no way it would be possible without your continued patronage, and we wanted so badly to find unique and helpful ways to give back, so we are announcing “Stumpt! Serves”. This is our way to choose a different organization each month that we feel strongly about, and donate a portion of our proceeds to them. A community doesn’t thrive unless we all lift each other up now and again. This month, we’ve chosen to partner with The As ..read more

I am so excited for today! For this week! Elizabeth and I have been working on Stumpt! Escape Games for nine months and we are about to start building our first escape room! A mobile game was not what we originally envisioned when we began this journey. The focus of our business plan and overall concept has been opening a permanent location with two to four escape rooms, an endeavor that poses formidable financing and real estate challenges, of course. Challenges we are chipping away at, but that will still take some time to work out. So, in the meantime, we decided to design and build a mobil ..read more
