About

Dave has been crafting puzzle and code based ‘missions’ for his kids since they were small. But it wasn’t until he did his first Escape room (while on vacation with friends) that he realized people made these experiences for grown ups! From there, he met Krista and they dove into the wider world of Puzzled Pints & puzzle hunts, tabletop escape games and challenges … the ever-expanding universe of confounding adventures has become their world (in addition to being the vehicle for his proposal and a featured component of their wedding). Outside of that, he likes to be outside, growing things at home and exploring the world abroad!

Mind Masters - "Strange Magic"

You thought you were simply showing up to play an escape room, but the curtain rises on something far more urgent. You’ve been quietly recruited by a mysterious organization to stop a once-celebrated magician who has crossed a dangerous line. Using a powerful amulet, he’s been draining the life force of his audiences, hiding sinister intent behind theatrical charm and sleight of hand. Your task is to locate the amulet and contain its power before he can capture his next audience.

The Escape Effect - "A Knight to Escape"

The king recently died, and the kingdom has fallen into chaos. His designated heir, a kind and just younger son, briefly took the throne… until his power-hungry older brother staged a brutal coup. The young king was killed, his loyal supporters imprisoned, and Stonebury Castle now stands under tyrannical rule. You are what remains of the resistance. Some of you rot in the dungeon below, while others lurk in the courtyard above, trying to mount a rescue.
