Buddy Saves Christmas!
An Elf-inspired Escape Room



It's Christmas Eve and there is trouble at Santa's Workshop. Leon the Snowman has started to have a meltdown, he has made his way into the toy room and the Elves had to stop making toys! Leon has lost his cane and no one has been able to understand why he is upset. Santa has sent a Christmas Gram to Buddy and Jovi, but they are going to need a lot of help! There is a snow storm and you have to figure out how to get from New York City, back through the Seven Levels of the Candy Cane Forest and the Sea of Swirly-Twirly Gumdrops all of the way to Santa's Workshop to help him figure out how to help Leon the Snowman find his cane and see what is wrong with him! You have to hurry so the elves can finish the toys for Santa to deliver before time runs out!
This is a Special Christmas Edition Escape Room, inspired by the movie. THIS IS AN ADULT ROOM-WE RECOMMEND A MINIMUM 2 ADULTS, IF BRINGING PERSONS UNDER 16. If you are a fan of Elf, you will especially love this room.
We recommend you watch the movie as a family or group, then come to do the room (you'll especially appreciate the nuances and similarities to the movie).
We recommend 4-8 people (puzzle-wise) for this room, but the starting area is smaller.
This room is still doable if you haven't seen the movie, but more fun if you are a fan!
The Rugh Mast Mansion
This is an adult Escape Room RECOMMENDED for 2-5 people (due to smaller start area). This is a creepy story from Lancaster, Oh.
The Rugh-Mast Mansion was originally built as the Red Rock Tavern, with many hidden passages and secret chambers. It was later converted to a mansion. We don’t know much about the early days except they are shrouded in tales of a nefarious nature. What we do know is that sometime in the 1930’s, a family of five were finally seen moving in to the long-abandoned estate. However, once the last box had been carried into the home and the door was shut, they were never seen outside the manor walls again. After some time had passed, a curious neighbor tried walking inconspicuously past, doing her best to peer in, just to get a glimpse. Shifting her gaze from window to window, she suddenly realized that a woman was peering down at her from the second story, seemingly following her movements. The neighbor, realizing that she had been detected, quickly averted her gaze and hurried to make her way back home. The following day, now even more curious, she returned to the looming structure--only to discover that once again the woman was there, matching her gaze. Once more she scurried away, embarrassed. This happened for 10 days, until finally the suspicious neighbor alerted the local police. Upon entering the home and making their way up a secret staircase, they found hidden passageways which finally led to a private chamber. Here they discovered the family of five, hanging from the ceiling, all in long white gowns. The lady of the house, Mary, happened to be facing out the window of the second-story bedroom. No one has dared inhabit this mystifying residence since. No one knows for sure, but local tales tell that this is the infamous "Bloody Mary" of folklore.
It is now 12:58 AM on September 21, 2015. The derelict mansion is set for demolition today, but there is a way to save it. One of the children is thought to have hidden a doll with a secret that could reveal everything, just before she died at precisely 2 AM! Can you break into this creepy mansion and recover the doll to discover the secret and make it out before the clock strikes 2 AM?


The Rugh Mast Mansion is a story that happened in Lancaster Ohio. In The Rugh Mast Mansion you will be lured into an immersive set that promises to beguile then surprise you. We have put our heart into this fun new room where entertainment meets mystery and investigation! This room is meant for groups of 2-5 people that want to be challenged and are ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work.
This room will be great for beginner groups of up to 5 people or groups of 2 that enjoy a good conundrum! You will be busy for the entire duration of your 60 minute session in this room, if you want to Escape! Our puzzles and props will provoke and then amaze you! This exciting room is rated PG-13 for creepiness! Come and try to Escape...if you dare...

William Kidd was a Privateer turned Pirate who captained The Adventure Galley during the Golden Age of Piracy. He traveled the Atlantic, Caribbean and Indian Oceans where he and his men seized many ships and innumerable treasures. Captain Kidd was captured and hanged as a warning to other pirates on May 23, 1701. A half a century later, an old sailor on his deathbed, confessed to being a crewmember and helping Captain Kidd bury a large treasure on Oak Island. The legendary loot is said to be over $20 million in today's money.
Legend has it that a wealthy Englishman, Hubert Palmer, a collector of genuine pirate artifacts came to be in possession of four pieces of furniture from The Adventure Galley. Each piece had a secret compartment containing a piece of a complete treasure map. They say that if you can find all four pieces, you can find the hidden fortune on Oak Island. You must find the entire map, walk the plank and escape the island! But, remember, the Mystery of Oak Island says that seven men must die before the island will give up her riches. So far, there have been six...

This latest discovery has changed everything. A previously unearthed tomb of a yet unknown King has been revealed! Ancient scrolls have been uncovered that indicate that a little known, but coveted, statue somewhere within the room has been said to lead to a secret treasure map promising untold riches. But! BEWARE the CURSE of the PHARAOHS:
"Cursed be those who disturb the rest of a Pharaoh. They that shall break the seal of this tomb shall meet death by a disease that no doctor can diagnose."
There is also an archaic strain of a grotesque bacteria penetrates your immune system and causes permanent damage or even death!

The Curse of the Pharaohs is an adventure for people who enjoy using logic and putting things together to investigate the clues and solve puzzles to reveal the secret treasures within.

What It Is

Some locations are part of larger organizations, or leagues, that are recognized nationally.
