You can tell Christmas is on its way by the onslaught of holiday season Hallmark movies on TV. But one Christmas movie rises to the top of the list: The 1983 film, A Christmas Story, tells the story of a young boy named Ralphie Parker who is willing to do everything in his power to get his precious Red Ryder BB gun on Christmas morning. With letters to Santa, a class report, and ongoing wishes to his parents, it seems as though nothing was going to stop him from making his wish come true. As you watch Ralphie navigate the week before Christmas, you might have wondered what you would have done differently. Coming soon to EscapeWorks Denver, you will be able to immerse yourself and your family or friends into the movie itself and let the screen become a tangible scene!
From the TV to Tangible Reality
The film, based on Jean Shepherd’s book In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash, is now a family-friendly escape room, geared for clean fun and holiday festivities. Intended for your group to create lasting memories, this room will make you feel as though you lived among the 1940s station radio and Ovaltine days.
Group Strategies
With only an hour to complete the room, you and your team will be racing against the clock to complete over a dozen puzzles. For the best experience, we recommend your groups form as teams of four to six to enjoy this immersive holiday experience. For larger groups, contact our office at info@escapeworksdenver.com. Consider this seasonal Christmas story Escape a great company party idea that your employees will laugh about and cherish for years to come as they strategize together in this immersive team-building exercise.
Make It a Movie Night
To prepare for the escape room, gather with your team during an extended lunch break to watch the film and take notes about what you perceive could potentially help you find hidden clues and puzzles in the room as the clock winds down. Or before coming with your family, watch A Christmas Story the night before your scheduled escape room and at the very least, you will have a wonderful evening filled with laughter and storytelling. This movie always provides at least one favorite scene whether it’s one of the many escapades Ralphie experiences in his desperate attempts to plea for his dream Christmas present or the ceremonial beheading of the Christmas duck at the Chinese restaurant.
