Moniteau coach runs 'escape room'
“Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.”
Those words can be found outside the entrance of Butler's Great Escape, in the heart of town on Main Street.
The mystery adventure competition is designed for more than just fun, says its owner, Moniteau boys basketball coach Jerry Day.
“It's about team bonding, building team chemistry and leadership,” Day said.
Teams of anywhere from two to 10 people battle a 60-minute clock to solve the mystery in the “escape room.” The current mystery is solving who stole one of the Pittsburgh Steelers' Super Bowl trophies and retrieving it.
Day keeps a leaderboard of the fastest times in solving the mystery both at the facility and on its website.
He plans on bringing his Moniteau team down to participate and is trying to set up rivalry battles between Moniteau and Karns City, along with other area high school teams.
A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.
