Escape 45, Baltimore

You swear you were just floating carelessly through Baltimore's inner harbor. The boat ride was as casual as could be—the sun was shining, your friends were all laughing, and everybody was having a good time. But you just woke up and found yourself in a lighthouse tower, with little idea of how you got there or who put you there. You look around and a chill falls upon you when you realize that your friends are there with you and you're all locked in.

The Lighthouse Room nautical nightmare is one scenario up to eight gamers might find themselves in at Escape 45. Among others scenarios is the Jewel Heist, which requires groups of up to six to pluck the Hope Diamond from its case and escape the jewelry store before the cops arrive and call your Mom to tell her what you've done. In every room, groups have just 45 minutes to find clues, solve riddles, and use their collective brainpower to find the right path to escape.
