[Thank you to everyone that made the last escape jam such an amazing success!]
Think you could design your own Escape Room? Have some experimental new ideas you want to try out?
The Escape Jam is a one-of-a-kind event in LA for anyone who loves playing, designing, and learning about escape-room-style challenges and puzzles, all while meeting new people and having a blast!
Working in teams, you'll create and test your own 20-minute escape room in this full-day workshop. Work with other creative folks to push the boundaries of immersive entertainment.
Get started with the help of structured prompts and guidance (along with the infamous "Boxes o' Stuff"), then get direct feedback and iterate as you watch other teams attempt your room. Plus, you'll get to play other teams' rooms and give your feedback.
No experience necessary, open to anyone with an interest in escape rooms, immersive theater, board games, theme parks, DIY, video games, crafting, gameshows, storytelling, puzzles, etc...
You'll walk away from the experience with:

What previous Escape Jammers have to say...
"The event was an excellent hands-on learning experience. It deepened my understanding and appreciation of great escape room games, and was just a ridiculously fun day!"
"The day was filled with a lot of laughter and focused dedication to create and play. For strangers to meet and develop mini escape rooms in a course of a day, it was stress-free and completely enjoyable."
"Jeb Havens' Escape Jam is one of the best, and most fun, workshops I've had the pleasure of taking part in."
"The Escape Jam was amazing! There was just enough guidance to let us know how to proceed without setting too many limits to stifle our creativity."
“It's like Crossfit for your brain.”
