Before heading into an ESCAPE! Alaska escape room, your group is given the option to name your team. This is important if you do well enough to make one of our leaderboards. Over the years, we’ve seen many types of team names, from Team (FAMILY NAME HERE) to work references, or TV and film nods. Occasionally, a team name strikes us as particularly clever or fun. While scrolling through pages and pages of them, we noticed a few consistent categories, and wanted to share some of the better ones here.
