My friend (Kate) first introduced me to Panic Rooms in 2018, and I have done 3 live rooms with various friends. I have always enjoyed them even though I am not very good at them. So, when Kate told me that an online version was available during lockdown, I was very excited and wasted no time in booking one for the (Paily) family to take part in the Escape Room.
Getting the whole Paily family to take part was a bit more difficult to do though. Major problems like how there is a 13 hour difference between George in Connecticut and the Lage-Pailys in Singapore made it more difficult but we still did it! In the end, it could only happen because Uncle George very kindly agreed to stay up till 2 am and Master Daniel promised to wake up at 6.30am just to tackle a panic room. That is dedication!
We had a full house buzzing with excitement, on Sunday when we started our mystery hunt. It was very quickly clear that there are some great, crooked minds in this family. I myself am not very quick at figuring out the clues but take great pleasure in watching my siblings and the little ones jumping from clue to possibility to crazy guess. It was very entertaining indeed. We got a bit stuck with the second clue but after that we were on fire and finished in about 90 minutes. A great achievement!
I hope we will get a chance to do a few more before life returns to the daily grind. I will count this as one of the good things that has come out of this pandemic.
Great story! It was a lot of fun. Thanks, Anuchechi, for setting it up for us!
