Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We first opened our doors on September 16, 2016. It's been up to our guests to unlock them since then. ; )
What is your primary product or service?
We like to say we sell fun! We are an independent family-owned and operated escape room venue with four unique game rooms that challenge players to find clues and solve puzzles within a specific time frame. It's part mystery-solving, part logical thinking and ALL good time!
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
We played an escape room while on vacation in 2015 and enjoyed the experience so much, we wanted to offer it as a new kind of entertainment in our hometown. We are a husband-wife team---a U.S. Army veteran (30+ years of service!), and graphic designer/writer/interior decorator---in addition to being escape room owners.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Our puzzles are hand built, our story lines and original and our customer service unparalleled. We focus on our guests experience, so clues are unlimited and our staff is also happy to provide hands-on assistance when needed.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We are a sole location. No plans to expand at this time.
Provide detailed directions to your location
Our address is 2108 Emmorton Road in Bel Air. We are just north of the Festival at Bel Air (across Bel Air South Parkway) and behind the Burger King.
What type of payments do you accept?
Booking ahead is recommended--online at GreatEscapesHarford.com--with credit card payment. Cash payment also accepted.
Which areas do you service?
We are probably most convenient for residents of Harford, Cecil and Northern Baltimore counties; but we have hosted many guests from further away who have raved about their experience here.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Chris and Katie Cole
What are your hours of operation?

Saturday and Sunday we open at noon. Last available game on Saturday is 9:15pm; on Sunday last available game is 8pm.
We reserve the right to open later/close earlier if games have not been pre-booked.
We open outside regular hours for groups of at least 10 players or 10 tickets purchased.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
To come back and play another room or to recommend/bring a friend.
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
"Do unto others as you would have done unto you."
Matthew 7:12
and "How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure.”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
