Read MoreShenanigans and Escape Room Winners, oh my!
Howdy, Sprightly Fam. What's shakin'? Hopefully you're reading this in between escape rooms because it's Saturday, and everyone knows that Saturday is the perfect day for escape room adventures. Duh. So what's in store for today's #sprightlyshenanigans, you ask? Just a collection of some of our favorite recent #winnerwall moments. Hope it brings a big ole grin to your face like it did ours :-)

Hellllllo wonderful Sprightly Fam! Kara and Denise here, your favorite escape room owners (wink wink). It's February, y'all. FEBRUARY. Say whatttt. And actually, it's February 18, which means it's almost March... which is CRAY. Anywho, how's 2018 treating you? Hopefully it's been filled with lots of escape room memories with friends, family and colleagues... and of course, hopefully you've been obsessing over the Winter Olympics. We often think to ourselves, "If we weren't busy with ole Sprightly Escapes, we'd definitely be Olympic Athletes." Denise tends to picture herself as a curler... Kara isn't quite sure but bobsledding seems pretty grand...
Read MoreWe haven’t written a blog post in FOREVER… probably because we’ve been too busy playing escape rooms… and running Sprightly Escapes, too, of course (!!)
Well, it’s December 1st and we looked at each other and said, “OMG IT’S DECEMBER. WE HAVEN’T WRITTEN A BLOG POST IN YEARS.” First off, how is it December? Secondly, we know we have a really strong reader base for this ridiculously awesome escape room blog, so we apologize for letting down our followers. (Note: we know that only our best friends and family members read this… we’re not fooling ourselves).
Read MoreCheers to Good Humans! (Escape Room Edition)
You know when you encounter someone in life and after your interaction with that person you think to yourself, “Sheesh, I can tell that’s an amazing human being!”?! Well, this past week we’ve had some particularly awesome escape room groups come to Sprightly. Don’t get us wrong, we love each and every team that pays us a visit, but today we (Denise + Kara) looked at each other and said, “We’ve had such fun, amazing groups come through Sprightly this week!” Here are a few takeaways...
Read MoreIt's fall (well, not quite yet), y'all! And what better way to celebrate than with an escape room?
Is anyone else feeling like it's basically Fall?
Cool mornings, football, sweatshirts, and pumpkin spice lattes will be here before we know it, friends. As we were thinking about some of our favorite Fall activities, escape rooms OF COURSE came to mind. But really, we played our first escape room ever (#thatwasliterally100escaperoomsago) when it was Fall. No lies.
So... picture this scene...

Denver Escape Room | Team-Building in Denver
We recently took a much-needed vacation – small business owners can take vacations, too, right?! Yep, we closed up shop to spend time with friends and family, and of course, play as many awesome escape rooms as we could possibly play. #escaperoomaddicts
Many of you who know us, know that our obsession of escape rooms (plus our love for team-building #obvi) is ultimately what pushed us over the edge to bring our vision of Sprightly Escapes to life. We’ve officially played over 100 puzzle rooms (yes, we have a color-coded tracker that houses all of this information... for OVER ONE HUNDRED ESCAPE ROOMS... ACROSS THE COUNTRY), and we feel like we learn something new each and every time we play a different room.
So, what’s in store for this epic blog post, you ask?
We thought it’d be pretty nifty to share our traveling stories and highlight some of the escape room adventures we recently had across the country. From Tennessee up to the northeast, we covered multiple states and various styles of live escape games, so needless to say, we’re pretty pumped to share the scoop on some of our favorites.
Read MoreTips & Tricks to Make Your Escape Room Experience a Meaningful One
Denver Escape Room | Team-Building in Denver
Escape rooms are becoming all the rage nowadays, and as escape room owners and enthusiasts we've not only played 100+ escape rooms, but we've also facilitated and watched our fair share of escape room experiences. We've seen it all... like, literally, we've seen ALL. OF. THE. THINGS. Lately we've been having conversations about what makes for a truly meaningful escape room experience. Sure, a lot of this comes from the design, puzzles, flow, storyline, and immersion that must be top-notch. And that's on us, the designers and facilitators. However, we also tend to think that there's a certain mindset or way of approaching the game that makes for a more meaningful experience on the customer/ player-end. Sure, you can compete for best time. Sure, you can aim to just DOMINATE a room. Here at Sprightly Escapes, though, we tend to encourage a slightly different mindset and way of approaching the experience.
Read MoreA Trip Down Memory Lane: This Denver Escape Room is Turning ONE!
Welp, here we are again, Sprightly Fam... Another escape room blog filled with tons of awesome (cough cough useless) tid bits of knowledge from your favorite escape artists and team-builders (that's us: Denise and Kara). We wanted to take a minute to celebrate the fact that Sprightly is turning ONE YEAR OLD soon (Whattt?!). But let's be honest, we'll likely keep this post short and sweet... we have old Survivor episodes to catch up on and it's technically our day off. #sorrynotsorry We told you that we're game nerds. And yes, we do realize that Survivor has been on TV for about 20 years now. #so2000
Read MoreTeachers, Team-Building, Riddles... and a Really Awesome Denver Escape Room (of course!)

Teaching is the toughest but arguably most important job in the world, so put a smile on a teacher's face this week, friends.
