Escape room craze coming to Gainesville in February
01172019 ESCAPE 1.jpg
Tonya, sitting, and Eric Merrell are bringing an escape room business to downtown Gainesville this winter. The couple from Commerce aim to open the series of five escape rooms — in which participants are challenged to find all the clues to free themselves from a locked room within a time limit — to the former site of The Fudgery on Green Street NE next to Midland Coffee.
Eric and Tonya Merrell’s children have spent the past few months building escape room scenarios inside their home in Commerce. Good thing, too, because the Merrells will be taking tips and tricks from their children as they open Against the Clock, a collection of escape rooms, in downtown Gainesville.
