Finally got my group of friends together and did my second escape room... the five of us managed to escape an alien laboratory in 50 minutes - ten minutes before the end of the hour long timeframe - and everyone had an awesome time.
It was the first time for three of my friends and we are all talking about when are we going back to take on the evil hacker room.
I am really fortunate to have a group of friends that can get so excited about nerdy things and experiences. This was exactly what I needed and wanted to do.... and it turned out wonderful.
