**The Great Escape Room Opens in Akron**

AKRON, OH - Excitement filled the air last weekend as Geneva and Sunny officially celebrated the grand opening of *The Great Escape Room* (@tgerakron) in downtown Akron. Located at 348 S. Main Street, this new venue offers thrilling escape room experiences for locals and visitors alike.

The Great Escape Room features two unique themes: a retro 80’s gaming-inspired puzzle and a vintage classic hotel mystery. Both escape rooms are designed to accommodate groups of two to nine players, but they also provide flexibility for smaller or larger teams. The venue promises a fun and interactive way to build teamwork or simply enjoy a dynamic activity to shake off cabin fever.

The new escape room establishment invites players to challenge themselves and their problem-solving abilities while diving into the immersive experiences offered in their intricately designed spaces. Whether you're a puzzle enthusiast or just looking for a unique outing, The Great Escape Room is ready to take you on an adventure.

Game on, Akron!
