Date Night in Bloomington, IN
An hour that is not another dinner and a movie, plus what to do after on Kirkwood.
Dinner and a movie is three hours of not talking to each other. An escape room is sixty minutes of having to.
Why it’s a good date
You find out quickly whether the two of you solve problems well together, which is more information than most third dates produce. And every room is private, so it really is just the two of you in there.
Can two people do it?
Yes — every room takes a minimum of two players. Two people in a room built for six is genuinely harder, so for a first attempt take DaVinci’s Workshop (5/10). Note that on Friday, Saturday and Sunday there is a 4-person minimum charge for the private experience, so a weeknight is the cheaper date.
Making a night of it
We’re inside Fountain Square on Kirkwood Avenue, so dinner, drinks and the walk between them are all within a couple of blocks. Book the room first and eat after — you’ll have something to talk about.
Or go outside
The outdoor game is untimed, runs one to two hours, and is one price for the whole group. It’s a walk through downtown that happens to be a mystery.
