Aaron Larimer breathes and sleeps escape rooms \u2014 literally. Not only is he the operations manager at Escape Chambers Des Moines<\/a>, he lives in the apartment right above it.<\/p>\n

Larimer became an escape games enthusiast in college when they were nothing but small flash puzzle games in which you, the main character, are stuck inside a room with one locked door. The way out? Finding clues and solving a series of puzzles to find the key that unlocks the door.<\/p>\n

These real-life escape rooms first became popular in Hong Kong and Japan and have slowly made their way to the Midwest.<\/p>\n
