I love Father’s Day! Father’s Day is special because I have the opportunity to celebrate my father. He has always been a great father and it is important that I show my appreciation towards him. I usually buy my father gifts, but I’m realizing that some gifts are quickly forgotten about after they are received. I am learning that the best gift one can give is the gift of memories.
I really wanted to take my dad on a fun outing but I also wanted it to be cost effective. I decided to check out Groupon deals in my city. If you are interested: go to Groupon, sign up with your email and you will receive weekly emails.
I decided to surprise my father and take him to the Escape Room. An Escape room is a physical game where you are locked in a room, and you’re given a certain amount of time to escape using clues located in the room.
I was able to find a Groupon deal: MagIQ Room- Family Escape in Pirate’s Den for up to 8 Players. This was a steal for me and my family; we were able to split the cost at only $8 per person.
The first room we entered into was sparsely furnished: It only had a desk, barrel, board and other odd objects. We were stuck in this room the longest because the clues did not make any sense to the group. After a while, we slowly pieced the clues together. You are allowed to ask for hints; I must admit we had to ask for a hint.
After unlocking the first room, the second room was nice in comparison. It looked like we had entered paradise. It had a backdrop of Thailand, sand, and chest with bones. To get out of this room we had to use a pirate’s map and other clues to guide us to the treasure.
Finally, we made it to the treasure chest filled with beads and a gold bar. Happy to report we made it out just in time!
Remember if you are looking for things to do go to Groupon for great deals! Who doesn’t want to have fun while saving money?
Seems like fun tiff!
It was alot of fun! You should take the family! You can even make it a competition, see which team can escape the fastest!
I agree there are so many gems to be found on Groupon. I love these escape rooms, they really require team work and creativity. Glad you had a great time with your family without breaking the bank.
Right i was thinking what fun activities could we do, i also found cheap tickets to a play for us to see as well. Def require out of the box thinking skills, it was 9 of us and were stuck in the first room for over 20 minutes. Groupon is the best!
I love this idea.
Yes it was great, I think we should go back and try a different room. You get your family together and do it, guaranteed to be team work and good times.
What a great idea! I have heard of doing stuff like this but, wasn’t sure what it entailed. Great post!
Thank you so much for reading the post! Our family loves games, so i thought this would be perfect! Yes you and your family should give it a try!
I love Groupon! So many great products, services, and the like. That was really nice of you to do that for your dad.
Yes me too! Thank you. its important to celebrate and spend quality time while they are here.
You have me pumped up, I really want to try an escape room with my family. I think it would be hilarious.
Yay! Do it! Do It! Yes it goes from super exciting to, frustration because you cant solve the clue, to feeling frantic because time is running out, to feeling excited that you finally made it out. Emotions are like a roller coaster while in the Escape room..lol
This looks like a great time. I LOVE Groupon for deals.
Yes we had a blast! Me too, i especially love getting coupons for %20 off on top of the already reduced price..
Looks like you guys had a ball. I want to try an escape room. I need to see if I can find a Groupon for that!!!
Yes we had so much fun! Try the escape room and let me know if you like it or not. They have a groupon for the escape room all the time
Wow! I never seen this Groupon. It looks like you and your family had a blast. The Escape room seems pretty cool.
Yes check it out, they always have this deal on group-on, Escape rooms are the thing now. Yes we had a blast!
Awww I’m glad you were able to find something. I love Groupon and I am all about experiences and memories as gifts.
Yes Experiences are something you will have for a life time, gifts are only temporary. Yes I am glad I found something fun on a budget.
I really need to get my Groupon game up! I’m downloading the app now!
Yay! Once you download the app be careful your going to see some great deal and want to purchase everything..lol
Looks like you all had a great time. Glad you were able to find something on groupon and made it happen.
Groupon caters to everybody, I can always find a good deal on something. LOL
I have been hearing great things about The Escape Room. Some friends and I are considering doing that as our next get together. I am glad you had a great time with your father. Memories are always more fun!
Memories are the best. I can tell my future children stories but they wont care about the boots in my closet. You and your friends will enjoy. Let me know if you all Escape in time.
I love groupon! Escape room sounds fun but I am not sure if I can handle it lol
LOL, don’t be nervous, take some friends with you and have a good time. I love Groupon as well.
I love this idea of doing an Escape Room for a gift! I did an escape room once and I too had to ask for hints! Love the Pirate theme and the cute photo you took at the end!
Groupon has great deals. Uh, I can’t do an escape room though. I’m not about that life!
You should try it once, we had a lot of fun! It’s a great family outing.
I am such a Groupon addict. I literally am a stalker for deals and get such great stuff!
They have great stuff and deals
Seeing your post makes me really want to try this! I may do this for a family event soon. It looks like fun! What a great price too!
Yay, I hope you try it! I think I liked the cheap price the most. Some people say they don’t have money for certain outings, so this was perfect because we didn’t spend a lot of money but we spent quality bonding time together.
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I love finding great deals on Groupon too!
Yes we had a blast! Groupon is great!
My kids would love to go a trip like this.
Take them, I’m pretty sure they would enjoy 🙂
I love Groupon maybe I will use it for my next getaway! Great read
Thanks for reading! Try the escape room and let me know about your experience.
I agree. You can find great deals on Groupon. I need to do an escape room. It looks like a fun time.
Hey Ramona, you should try it, our family had a really good time.
LOL!! This looks like fun! Listen, groupon is bae. They have so many good deals on there. It’s like a rabbit hole sometimes, so I have to watch myself or I’ll start buying up groupons I’ll never use.
LOL at Groupon is Bae. Its true, Groupon will have you spending the bill money if you are not careful. If I buy them, I do make sure to use them, I can’t be wasting my coins. Maybe if you don’t use them, you can gift them to somebody as a birthday/Christmas gift.
That looks like a lot of fun! I haven’t been on a fun outing like this one in a long time. You have me thinking that I need to plan one soon.
It was a lot of fun.Sometimes we have to let go and have a good time even if for a brief moment. I think your family would enjoy an outing like this and it would be great for your son.
Groupon is my go to for all things deals lol. I’m checking it for food, vacations and just stuff! I’m glad you all had fun 🙂
I’ve actually never used Groupon for food or travels but I’m glad to know I can find great deals for a variety of things on Groupon.
