He noted the escape rooms are more than a lock and key concept. They have added sensory experiences to the games using different smells and sounds to make your mind feel in the moment, Turner said. For example, they have explored how many people will be involved in the puzzles. One task may involve all participants touching something to trigger something else.

“It’s pretty exciting to see the different reactions of people going through it right now,” Turner previously said when they were in the midst of construction. “I think that’s the neatest part because the rooms are in different stages, we have four different themed rooms and the first one is the only one we’ve beta tested. The others are a little further behind, but at least it is allowing us to put focus on different types of games we will do in the other rooms.”
Time to Escape offers four game rooms — Gold Rush, Inventor’s Workshop, The Lost Temple and Space Expedition — where two to eight players will try to escape in one hour.
In addition, the 4,500-square-foot space has a rage room called the Angry Beaver where guests are able to break anything in the room with a weapon of choice. There is also a splash paint room called the Sloppy Beaver where guests are able to splatter paint on canvases.
During the grand opening event from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. they will also have a car ready to be smashed in the parking lot, in addition to door prizes and giveaways.
The Beaver Valley Shopping Center recently added Level Up Pinball Bar, an expansion of Wild Axe Throwing. The space offers 23 pinball machines, 12 arcade games, seating for 50 people and a wrap around light up bar. The shopping center is also home to the Midwest Shooting Center.
