Exit Kelowna Escape Games to open a Penticton location

Exit Escape Games is planning an expansion south to Penticton later this year.

The escape game room venue provides real-life escape games that give visitors a chance to enter another world, then use their wits, creativity, speed and teamwork to escape.

"Currently we don’t have an opening date set, as we’re working on everything, but hopefully sometime this summer or fall,” Exit Kelowna manager Elliott Easy says.

The Penticton facility will offer four new escape room scenes, unique to those of the Kelowna or Kamloops locations, with varying degrees of difficulty.

Plans are for the operation to locate at 130 Nanaimo Avenue West, the site of the former Desmios Escape Rooms in Penticton.

“We’re excited to have a location open up in Penticton. It’s going to be great,” Easy says.

Details about the Penticton location will be posted to the Exit Kelowna Escape Games Facebook page as they become available.

Exit Escape Games have locations across Canada, with something for everyone, from first time gamers to experienced players.
