Game Of Clues Escape Rooms To Open In Waterford October 21

Game of Clues (www.gameofclues.com) today announced that they are expanding and relocating their escape room facility from Novi to Waterford. The new location will be located at 3711 Elizabeth Lake Road west of M59 just past Cass Lake Road, easily accessible from Telegraph Road and I-75, in Waterford.

Game of Clues will open Friday, October 21, in a 2200 square foot facility that will initially launch with 2 escape rooms. In the “Lost” escape room, participants have lost their dog, someone has found the dog and wants to keep the dog for their own. Participants’ goal is to break into the house where the dog is being kept and solve puzzles and riddles to be able to unlock the cage, free their dog and escape.

In Game of Clues second room, participants travel back in time to the 1980’s where they will have to solve puzzles and riddles to get the code to the time machine to make it back to today while enjoying the best 80s music and playing with favorite 1980’s retro toys. Participants in the 1980’s room will be playing original Nintendo games in order to receive clues.

Game of Clues is owned by Waterford resident, Jennifer Bismack. According to Bismack, "I had to bring more entertainment to the city where I live. For entertainment, we don't have much to do besides golf, put-put, pool, and lazer tag. Novi is a great location and I am sad to leave, but, I know they have a lot to do there already and I have to help my city out where I live."

A third room, with a trapped in space theme, will open in early-to-mid 2017. When the third room opens, Game of Clues will be able to accommodate 30-40 people simultaneously between the 3 rooms.

Game of Clues has party and meeting room space for birthday parties and businesses that want to hold staff meetings at the facility. Game of Clues is open by reservation only. Hours of operation are 4 pm - 10 pm on Monday through Friday; and from Noon – 10 pm on Saturday and Noon – 6 pm on Sunday. The cost per game is $25.00 per person. For groups of 8 or more rooms can be closed for private parties and groups. Reservations can be made 24 hours a day on the Game of Clues website at www.gameofclues.com or by calling 734-807-1585 after 3 pm.

"I was inspired to create my own escape room after going to dozens of escape rooms. Many of the escape rooms I visited were very similar to one another; they seemed to be pre-packaged and didn’t offer any clues, which made our experience frustrating, and many seemed unsolvable without any direction. I loved the concept. I knew that people needed something that was challenging and that would also offer them a real chance at escaping the room. So I began researching the industry and found that indeed, many of the rooms I had visited were pre-packaged rooms; basically an escape room in a box. I decided that my rooms were going to be designed by me; with input from focus groups and other escape room aficionados. I came up with clue cards where people have to complete missions within the room once they uncover a hidden clue card. Once they complete the missions they will receive a clue from me to help them with a puzzle or riddle they may be stuck on. The clue cards and analysis are what make us unique. There are 3 games that can be played in the room for a clue: The friends or family game, bible trivia, and our couples game. For a modest fee your group can get an analysis of how you worked well together and each persons’ strengths," stated Bismack.
