Do: Try to escape!
Escape rooms have quickly become a favorite activity for groups, and many have opened in Myrtle Beach in recent years. If you’ve never been, you might wonder about the hype – but they are so much fun!
What exactly do you do in an escape room? You’re tasked with solving a series of puzzles and riddles within a themed room, racing against the clock to “escape.” Themes range from the Wild West to art theft, and you work as a team to figure out the clues to complete the puzzle.
Ok, I’m intrigued. Who should I bring? Your kids, your friends, your family, your favorite co-workers. All ages will have fun in this team-building activity.
