Level 99 has taken over the old DisneyQuest and NBA Experience building at Disney Springs, and it's exactly Lisa's kind of place. This week Steve and Lisa are joined by special guest Laura from Game Masters Escapes, who has designed 21 escape rooms, runs 14 of them (plus three holiday rooms) in Canada, and has installed rooms everywhere from the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas to Mexico City.

Laura walks us through what makes Level 99 such a smart addition to Disney Springs, why interactive entertainment is so good for families (grandparents, parents, and kids all playing on the same team), and what goes on behind the scenes of an escape room: how designers balance "too easy" and "too hard," why the game master wants you to win in the last five minutes, the room that makes you dance and chant, the props guests accidentally destroy, and the one leg lamp that has survived seven years of players.

We also get into which cruise lines have escape rooms (Royal Caribbean and Norwegian do; Disney doesn't yet), why Disney resorts like the Polynesian or Wilderness Lodge would be perfect spots for one, tips for anyone nervous about trying their first escape room, and what's next for the industry, from projection mapping to Activate-style physical games.
