Escape Social is an escape room business run by siblings. We co-create the puzzles and rooms. I do the electronics and software and my sister concentrates on the physical builds and runs the business on a day-to-day basis. We opened to the public in December 2019 and have three escape rooms currently operating. We also have a party/game room - it's a great setup for teambuilding and escape room parties for all ages. There are also hosted Blood on the Clocktower games and a board games/escape room package. Open to collaboration for puzzle development - Raspberry Pi (Zero, 3A+, 3B+, 4), SAMD21, ESP32, etc.Come see us! https://escapesocial.ca/
