The Delray Escape
Picked by John Thomason, managing editor
“Being trapped in a locked room with a bunch of strangers and having only an hour to escape before you’re captured or killed is no longer just the stuff of action movies or video games. Escape rooms, valued for their excitement, technical creativity and team-building bona fides, have swept the world in recent years, so it’s only natural that a bustling city like Delray Beach would eventually spawn its own. Situated on the second floor of an otherwise drab office building near Linton Boulevard and I-95, the Delray Escape transforms its offices into an Area 51-themed bunker, where participants act as undercover journalists caught up in the clandestine facility, forced to uncover clues among the countless objects hidden in or around the blown-up alien dolls, flak jackets, stray bullets and hazmat material. You have an hour to escape. My wife and I are proud to say we made it out in 37 minutes!”
Old Dixie Seafood
Picked by Marie Speed, group editor
“Forget StarKist. If you have a hankering for a tuna sandwich, go directly to Old Dixie Seafood, where you can buy tuna salad homemade from fresh yellowfin tuna. You’ll never go back to the can.”
