The Bureau is a tech-enabled escape room that might be perfect for those that don’t like regular escape rooms. It relies more on common sense and noticing your environment than it does on solving obscure clues, as a typical escape room does.
The Bureau is located in a nondescript shopping center. When you pull up, you think you might be lost. The friend that I was meeting there actually called me because she thought she was lost. There is a B on the building and a very small sign that says The Bureau. (If you were working for the actual Bureau, they wouldn’t want a large sign announcing their presence would they?)
When you enter the building, you are placed in a holding room, where you are “briefed” on your responsibilities. You are then allowed into the inner portion of The Bureau. Please note that your appointment time is 15 minutes before the actual time you enter the escape room in order for the briefing to take place.
Our assignment (escape room) that day was to help an alien return to his home planet in a room aptly titled, UFO: Go for Launch. The alien had crash-landed on Earth and if he didn’t leave soon his family was going to attack Earth. There was a scientist researching the alien, but she had disappeared. Fortunately for us, she left behind clues that we could utilize to figure out how to send the alien back home.
