The happy couple pictured above got married to each other on November 10th, then went straight from the wedding ceremony to Breakout Manchester. Happily they escaped from their game and beamed with joy for their photo. The Breakout Manchester staff enjoyed it nearly as much, teasing at the event with a Tweet evoking the Bridal March then posting the photo with hashtags #Congratulations #WeWouldHaveWornHatsToday.
This site told them “Best way to start a honeymoon I can imagine!”; Ella responded “Or could have to lead to instant divorce 😉 Great way to spend part of our day!” They also took advantage of Manchester’s other offerings, visiting the Palace Theatre, as well as going bowling and ice-skating. Many congratulations and warmest wishes from this site to the two of them; the best of health and happiness, and may they deal as handily with all the puzzles that they encounter in their married lives as they did with the ones at Breakout Manchester.
(There’s some more exciting Breakout Manchester news: after starting with two rooms created and installed by Mazebase, their third and fourth rooms were original – and, in turn, they have gone on to install a copy of one of these original rooms at a site in Finland! Clearly this is another good option well worth considering if you’re thinking about getting into the business yourself and starting by franchising a room.)
I was talking to friends about how Adventure Rooms in the Waterloo Region had posted that a few couples had proposed in their rooms.
I dont know if its how it went down at Adventure Rooms, but I think it would be incredibly sweet and romantic if a proposal happened in an escape room the groom designed! The puzzles would be themed after milestones and important moments in your relationship and would culminate in a ring/proposal!
Another example happened just yesterday in Australia: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1506700839590151&id=1410048842588685 – as you say, it may be uncommon rather than exceptionally rare.
Hooray! Warmest wishes to the happy couple from this side of the world as well.
Ex(c)iting Game had a great tweet suggesting hiding the ring in their safe!

*flaps in awe* That would be hard to beat… 😀
The obvious bit to prevent that is that it would take a lot of effort (not that a marriage, or even the proposal, shouldn’t) to pull off to be used once. However if that game can be used again, with the personal details removed/amended of course, then it’s more likely to happen. Perhaps an operator could create a generic proposal themed game, that the proposer could personalise, but could be used my many (definition of “many” tbc) people over time. Better still the game can be played in a room that’s ostensibly a completely different theme (or actually, is usually a different game) so the proposee has no idea what’s happening.
All based on having a woman (or man) that would appreciate being proposed to in this style!
