Big Screen Escapes - The Poconos’ premier escape room experience: Escape Like It’s 1999!

The second I heard there was a 90s escape room I HAD to find it! As luck would have it bigscreenescapes is smack dab in the middle of prime Poconos family vacation destinations and less than 2 hours from Long Island!

Big Screen Escapes offered this one hour 90s themed adventure that had me at hello with its Blockbuster Videos, CDs, turquoise iMac G3, mix tapes, Hypercolor shirt, Point Break poster, Conair hair dryer, Michael Jordan memorabilia, cordless phones, continuous channel 14 feed (naturally showing Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place), Beanie Babies, and SOOOO much more.

We almost ran out of time because I got so excited to see each relic and had to explain them all to my kids.

Omg I was in HEAVEN! We love escape rooms and this one took the cake. There were alpha and numeric locks, clues galore, and secrets around every corner. We barely made it ,“escaping” with just 28 seconds left. But honestly - I kind of wish I got stuck in 1999, don’t you? Especially because I now know we’ll make it past Y2K.

Big Screen Escapes has two locations and lots of super fun themed rooms. In Mt. Pocono they offer: Trapped In 88, Nuclear Family, and Solitude. In Tannersville they offer: Escape Like It’s 99 and Minutes 2 Midnight. They also have kluesescaperoom in Stroudsburg with: The Pharaoh, The Mad Scientist, and The Moonshiner and nevermindescaperooms in Scranton offering: Nine to Five and Dead Rabbits.

We had the best time doing this escape room in the Poconos and every part of its 90s nostalgia made me smile. Just holding a VHS tape made me happy. Oh Se7en I so want to be kind and rewind just one more time. Take me baaaaaack!

Plus… we got a Polaroid picture to commemorate the experience! It was funny watching my kids try to be patient while waiting for it to develop and become the perfect little souvenir.
