Before ESCAPE! Alaska officially opened in early 2019, we were hard at work coming up with ways to get the message out, that there would soon be a theme-park-quality escape room in Anchorage.

In the early stages, it was actually called “Hollywood quality” and “movie quality,” but we quickly realized “theme-park-quality” told the story of what we were putting together - escape rooms where the sets and props are incredibly high quality, the custom intro video set the stage for the game you were about to play, and the sound effects along with the music would be what you might experience in any attraction at a major theme park.

We did not have major theme park budgets, though, so we had to make do with small sets constructed in our kitchen.

We love the way the final video turned out, the still image with sand pouring from the hand.
