WHO WE ARE

We’re a locally owned small business born from a love of storytelling, puzzles, and yelling “TRY THE OTHER KEY!” at our friends. Our rooms are built from the ground up and crafted by chaotic creatives who thrive on thinking outside the lockbox.

We’re passionate about making every single game a story you’ll tell your friends about for years (or at least until next weekend).

MEET THE TEAM

Two poodles and two people

Meet Sammi and Haley—co-owners, puzzle nerds, professional weirdos, and the chaotic-good duo behind Exit Strategy. Between the two of them, they’ve dreamed up every lock, twist, red herring, and cryptid sighting in our rooms. They believe escape rooms should be fun, clever, and just the right amount of unhinged.

If you hear cackling behind the walls, it's probably them.

THE EXIT DOGS

If you ever meet us at events you may see one or more of our trusty companions, aka the Exit Dogs!

Nifty
Nifty

Niphistopheles aka Nifty

Don’t let the small size fool you—Nifty runs this place. Equal parts kangaroo and chaos goblin, she can scale fences like a ninja and jump higher than your hopes and dreams. Known for keeping her siblings on edge and her humans in stitches, Nifty is the certified problem child... but like, the kind you’d proudly put on a T-shirt.

She didn’t choose the menace life. The menace life chose her.

Resident Menace

Hercules
Hercules

Hercules aka BEANS

Certified Goodest Bodyguard

Cutie. Sweet. Loyal. Absolutely ready to throw paws if Nifty demands it.

Hercules is the keeper of the Good Boy Braincell, a full-time cuddle machine, and part-time (extremely enthusiastic) alarm system.

He’d play fetch every day if you let him. He’ll nap like a champ. He’ll protect you from suspicious leafs and rogue delivery trucks. He’s a proud momma’s boy with a heart of gold and a deep, burning distrust of feet.

Oboe
Oboe

Oboe John Kenough aka Little German Boy

Probably Not A Dog

Sometimes he catches a thought… and immediately sets it free again. We’re still not convinced Oboe is actually a dog—there’s a strong case for “alien life form cleverly disguised to score free snacks.”He has no idea he’s a big dog, insists on fitting into your personal bubble at all times, and radiates Big Doof Energy™ wherever he goes. If you’re looking for spacey vibes, sloppy cuddles, and a walking mystery, Oboe is your guy.

Ezzy
Ezzy

Ezmerelda aka Bezbabellba

Fully Cooked Noodle

Sweet as spun sugar and soft as a cloud, Esmerelda is our resident princess. Pick her up and she’ll go fully limp like a cooked noodle—an ancient poodle art known only to those who crave maximum cuddles.

She has exactly one braincell, and it’s solely dedicated to plotting how to get more snuggles. Loves dressing up, loves going out on the town, and loves being adored (which, obviously, she deserves).

Puddles
Puddles

Last but never least, the eldest of the crew and vibes-based lifeform extraordinaire. Puddles once glimpsed an idea and it scared him so bad he never saw one again. He’s been coasting on pure good intentions and snack-based motivation ever since.

He's made a name for himself as the household’s most charming garbage connoisseur. Always cheerful, always clueless, and always happy to be here.

Puddles aka PuddleButts

The Trashman
