Escape From the Maze of the Minotaur

Tremendously clever use of the shirt itself. I tried to guess how many different things they would be able to do with the shirt in advance … and I got about half of them. Highly recommended.

Yup, escape rooms come in shirt form now! The Solve Our Shirt series of actual wearable T-Shirts filled with puzzles and other secrets come from the incredibly bright minds at CU Adventures in Time and Space, who have also designed some of my favorite escape rooms to this day. Escape From the Maze of the Minotaur is essentially a tabletop game with accompanying paper materials, online browser website for inputting answers, and some other hidden goodies. The only difference is you also interact with a shirt, which by the way, feels nice and looks good, even though it’s a bit of a loud design. The puzzles are surprisingly devious and take a lot of time, even though there aren’t many. I’m amazed by what was hidden in plain sight on the shirt, and I love the different ways I got to interact with this wearable fabric. Note that you don’t have to wear the shirt while playing, but you can certainly wear it after! It’s a fun unique take on escape room games that doubles as a souvenir! You can buy it online or in person if you go to their physical location in southern Illinois.
