Mom found a cheap building for rent in a good location and we rented it. It also had an attached apartment next door, which I rented for myself. We got an even better deal for renting both, so that was great.
I was originally going to move there, but instead someone suggested making it an escape room, which would be great to have here since the area is starved for things to do.
It was surprisingly easy and relatively cheap to set up. It's just a bit barebones at the moment, we need more decorations and distractions but it's good to start with. Everyone that's tried it has had a fun time, even the ones that utterly failed at figuring things out.
It has had a lot of interest on Facebook and through word of mouth, but that hasn't translated into many customers yet. Have 1 for tomorrow night, and another figuring out which night would be good for them in the next few weeks. But hey, it just takes a few per month to cover the cost, so hopefully it gains traction. And if not, I'll have a weird apartment to move into. lol
