Legend of Atlantis Escape Game |
Mirror maze. I had to ask a little girl to get me out -it was a good maze |
Laser vault,twisting through the lasers is a bit harder on the knees at this age! |
At Broadway at the Beach |
My friend and I were put together with a family of 5
to solve the mystery of the "Legend of Atlantis”.
Our 60 minute mission was to use an explorer's ancient note book and the props that we collected along the way to get to “The Temple of Poseidon” and line-up 5 power crystals which would
release enough energy to sustain a nation. Doesn’t this sound like a “Raiders of the Lost Ark” movie ( I
love those movies by the way)?
Our team of explorers |
What I found amazing is that you just start to work together with strangers when you have a common goal. Everyone has different strengths and with persistence and by using each others talents (and the voice from above that helps you when you get stuck) you start to solve the puzzle. You feel such a sense of accomplishment when the wall to the room with no door opens into another!
Escape game- stone opens to room |
We started in a small entry room but quickly used the clues activating the sliding wall which opened into a hall of portraits. Our team seemed to be stuck in the hall. Then with the help of the voice, and with leadership of the group's father and I, we managed to get the brick wall to open into another “temple like room”. We then all scattered and worked on different parts of the puzzle and almost made it out. We were only one step away. We had the thrill of being explorers just like we used to do as kids-we were part of a pretend story and just played!
I will definitely try an escape experience again and
not forget to play like a child sometimes at the beach!
Spiritual
Reflection
So in Christ we, through many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us (Romans 12:5-6)
