Escape Bradenton describes itself as a "video game come to life." Players are locked in a room with only their wits and surroundings to "save" them. They have to work together as a team, solving puzzles and finding clues that will eventually lead them to freedom. But unlike a video game, there's a 60-minute time limit and no starting over.

• Inheritance: A mysterious letter from a missing archeology professor sends players back through time to battle wits with some of history's greatest thinkers. To win, they'll have to defeat puzzles thought up by the likes of Tesla, Da Vinci, and Dante. (Difficulty: 3/5)

• Blitzkrieg: Players join an Allied commando team in World War II to pull off one of the greatest heists in history. They must make it through a labyrinth booby-trapped bunker to retrieve a mystical artifact or the fate of Europe could fall to the Nazi regime. (Difficulty: 3/5)

• Crucifixus: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and nowhere is that more true than this room-escape game. This eerie option is cunning and sly, and every decision made will alter the course of the game, and ultimately, the team's chances for getting out. (Difficulty: 4/5)
