Escape Rooms
An indoor adventure that makes you think outside the box
The Escape Rooms at Refreshing Mountain provide indoor entertainment for groups and are completely themed, designed, and built by the staff at Refreshing Mountain. Our first Escape Room, is under construction but will feature a live actor and a unique themed experience appealing to all audiences. Room #2, “Circle T Ranch”, is thematically built around the history of Refreshing Mountain and provides one of our most challenging experiences. Room #3, “On a Mission”, is designed for audiences to engage in the world around them near and far. After guests expressed interest in an experience geared for larger groups, we added an outdoor escape experience, “Refreshing the Zoo”.

Room #2: Circle T Ranch
From chaos to organized, make Refreshing Mountain what it is today!
Before Refreshing Mountain, a horse ranch called Circle T Ranch existed. Upon acquisition of the ranch, the manager of Refreshing Mountain discovered the property in shambles and through a series of events pieced the property back together. This thrilling (family friendly/not scary) escape room will take you on a journey you won’t want to miss. Can you help the manager bring order to the chaos, locate hidden clues, and discover all the veiled secrets?

What People Are Saying About Our Escape Rooms
FAQs
What Is An Escape Room?
Escape rooms are essentially themed rooms designed to challenge you with riddles, puzzles, and problems. Escape rooms have clues that will guide you to your next clue until you solve the puzzle of the room. Facilitators are either present in the room or are watching with remote access. The role of the facilitator is to assist you in the overall game of the room giving you additional clues to help you complete each step- should you want the help!
Is This A Shared Or Private Experience?
Typically, escape rooms can be shared or private experiences. At Refreshing Mountain, all escape rooms are private rentals. Meaning it’s just you and your group; no sharing and no problems (other than the riddles we give you!).
Are You Really Locked In The Escape Room?
No. We got rid of the padlocks on this one. Our rooms are fun and interactive, and should you need to step outside for a breather, no worries, just open the door.
What If Our Group Does Not Escape In The Alloted Time?
No worries! Remember from the previous question, our door is always open 😉 BUT if you do not finish the escape room, you’ll just have to come back and try again!
Is There A Guide Or Facilitor In The Escape Room?
All rooms are guided by one of our staff members. For Room #1, our staff member is an "actor" in the room.
