Wow! Can you believe it’s 2024 already? Rather than mourning the time that’s passed, let’s take a moment to celebrate all we’ve accomplished and look forward to what we’ve got coming.

Where we’ve been:

2023 was a crazy year for MER. PastaWay technically opened on Dec 26 of 2022, but things really ramped up for the game in 2023. It was our first team-developed game, as well as our first tech-based experience, so it’s near and dear to our hearts 😍. In that vein, our second tech experience opened in June; The Purrfect Crime!

Shortly after the launch of Purrfect Crime, things got crazy for all the staff behind the scenes as we finished up our merge with Locked Escape Games (now Murfreesboro Escape Rooms-Stones River). Hopefully you’ve all enjoyed having new games under the MER umbrella.

Next, we closed the beloved Santa’s Messy Workshop game for a cleaning and touch-up before the Christmas season. And what a touch-up it was! The game got a brand-new name, story, character, and completely refreshed puzzles! Christmas Crunchtime was definitely the fan-favorite of the season!

There’s been other small changes around the stores as well. Long-time MER fans will know that your photo memories have never looked so fun!

Where we’re going:

2024 is shaping up to be just as much fun as last year! We’re excited to announce that we’ll have more merch options soon! We’ll have keepsake photo frames, as well as magnets and keychains available soon, so stay tuned!

We’ve also got some spooky ideas brewing for a Halloween ‘24 pop-up event, escape game workshops, and let’s remember that Christmas Crunchtime is only here temporarily….. 🤔
