Celebrating Fathers
By: Janis Adams
Celebrating Fathers always seems to pose a challenge. With Father’s Day coming up, we want to make sure that Dad has a day to remember. Most people spend months planning for Mother’s Day, but Dad always gets the short straw ’til today!
Follow These Steps to Plan the Perfect Father's Day
1. Let Him Sleep In. Dads work hard all week long...
This one is hard to do because if you have small children, we all know that they love to wake you up at the crack of dawn! But, try as hard as you can to prevent that. Maybe even have a conversation about it the day before, so the kids know ahead of time what is expected. This is Dad’s day to relax and have some fun and Celebrating Fathers can be hard if he is not well rested. And, if you really want to hit the home run here, have a cup of his favorite coffee ready for when he awakes from his slumber.
An important part of Celebrating Fathers is making breakfast. We have found that, on a whole, most people fall into two breakfast categories: Bloody Mary’s or Mimosa’s. Trap Door’s top Dad, Tone, is a Bloody Mary kind of guy. So we thought we would share the recipe.
2. Make Dad Breakfast...
Start with a shaker ¾ full of ice. Fill half the shaker with Tomato Juice. Now a ¼ of Vodka (Tone prefers Belvedere). From this point, we are adding some kick! Two splashes of Tabasco Sauce, a bit of Worcestershire, a spoonful of horseradish, 4 turns of grounded black pepper, and just a bit of paprika. Now shake, shake, shake. Put it into a nice large glass and garnish with. . . a celery stalk and Jalapeno stuffed Olives!
3. Do Something He Loves...
According to Tone, his favorite family days are spent with his two girls, Liv and Brea. So planning an activity that Dad can do with the whole family sounds pretty perfect! Might we suggest a Trap Door Escape!!! For those who live closest to Red Bank, NJ- PERFECT, as Everest is now playing and is a perfect family game. If you are closer to Morristown, NJ we suggest The Greatest Freakshow, and for those vacationing in The Poconos, try out the F5 Tornado Escape!
4. Give Him a Father's Day Gift...
So you just gave Dad the perfect family activity, now you can present him with a gift, an adult night out for one of the more adult Escape Room themes at Trap Door! Here, we have made Celebrating Fathers easy. After the game, see your Game Master and book another for 50% off, only valid if booked before you leave!!! If you are near Red Bank, book Ripper of London, as it will be opening this Summer! For Morristown, try Witch Hunt or Day of the Dead with the Fiesta package as they will get to spend the evening tasting 5 varieties of Sangria! For Poconos, hit up the World of Z bundle for an entire night in the Zombie Apocalypse complete with adult drinks during the immersive intermission!
5. Take a Family Photo!
At the end of every Trap Door Escape Experience you have the opportunity to commemorate the occasion with a group photo! We will be customizing backgrounds for Father’s Day, so you will always have this memory to look back on!
Trap Door Escape Company
Trap Door Escape Room has 4 locations: 3180 Route 611 in Bartonsville, PA in the Poconos; 60 White St. in Red Bank, NJ; 34A Speedwell Ave. in Morristown, NJ: and 77 Wind Creek Blvd in Bethlehem, PA. The Red Bank location was the first of the 4 locations, opening in the fall of 2015. Morristown followed in the summer of 2017, and Bartonsville opened during the holiday season of 2018. Wind Creek is currently undergoing construction and will be opening in September 2022.
History
The idea came to Tone Purzycki back in 2011 after he wrote a screenplay that developed into a live-streaming game. The game revolved around an actor trapped in a situation and the audience had to solve puzzles to figure out where he was trapped. The “Find Me Event” had more than 1,000 people playing over the course of several hours. After the success of several other streaming events, the idea of an escape room was born.
Location
Each location has different rooms from which to choose. Our Morristown location is home to Day of the Dead, Witch Hunt, and The Greatest Freakshow. In Bartonsville, you’ll find Cure Z, F5 Tornado Escape, Fear the Bogeyman, Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, We’re All Mad Here, and Prisoner Z. In Red Bank we currently have Everest – our first 2 story escape room. Ripper of London is also available at this location. Our pirate themed games will soon be open at Wind Creek.
Trap Door Escape Room also offers team building, streaming events, and birthday parties. For more information on any of our games, prices, and locations, explore our website or call 570-234-3366
