Lost Cruces Escape Room

Lost Cruces Escape Room is an escape room in Alamogordo, NM. It offers live-action adventure games in which players are "locked" in a themed room and given one hour to find clues, solve puzzles and locate a master key to open the door. The games are all original and are not based on movies, books or places, so no outside knowledge is required beyond a fourth grade level; everything needed is in the back story, the room itself or provided by the game master. The rooms include a search for a missing heiress before a private jet takes off, a mission to sabotage a weapons test, a superheroine assembling her utility belt, and a debt-revenge heist at a heavily secured estate. Game masters watch, listen and play along through an audio-video monitoring system and offer clues at any time without penalty, and players can leave at any point without giving a reason. The business also hosts corporate and team-building events, and can customize games with clues, characters and challenges for a group. It was founded by talent management professionals with backgrounds at IBM, Cleveland Clinic and Disney to expand recreation and performance improvement options in the Mesilla Valley region. It hosts quarterly workshops in New Mexico with organizational psychology specialist Dr. Leslie Stager and other subject matter experts on leadership, change, conflict and quality, and partner entity First Cruces provides consultative talent management services. The escape room holds a rating of 4.90 from the customers who have reviewed it.
