That is what Smartypantz team have put into creating their immersive ‘Escape Room’ experiences, and attention to detail is what you will need if you want to solve the puzzles and escape with your life! ‘Escape with your life’ may sound like an overstatement, but this is exactly what the SmartyPantz creative team, talented group of set designers, and puzzle magicians aimed for when designing and creating the SmartyPantz ‘Escape Room’ experiences.
