Can't Escape the Craze

Tampa entrepreneurs John and Kristi Collins first came across escape rooms during a family trip in Europe in 2014.

The first one they discovered was sold out a week in advance. But they found another one in the next city on their trip.

They were immediately hooked. And by May 2015, they took on a bigger role in the “worldwide craze,” as John Collins puts it, and were operating their own escape room on Memorial Highway by the Tampa International Airport.
