Working at House of Deception: A Family-Run Escape Room Business

Since the beginning of 2024, I have had the pleasure of working at my family’s escape room business, House of Deception. This unique and thrilling venture has allowed me to develop a wide range of skills and experiences, making each day both challenging and rewarding.

One of my primary responsibilities is to create an impactful and memorable experience for our patrons. This involves keeping a variety of ages entertained with engaging puzzles and games, all while managing multiple groups simultaneously. Ensuring that everyone has a fantastic time is a top priority, and I take pride in the positive feedback we receive from our guests.

Handling payments for groups and individuals is another crucial aspect of my role. I ensure that all transactions are processed smoothly and efficiently, contributing to a seamless experience for our customers. Additionally, during busy times, I reset the escape rooms with precision and speed, ensuring that each group has a fresh and exciting challenge awaiting them.

As I'm also in charge of Training new staff members I provide comprehensive training on resetting the rooms, delivering their speeches, and maintaining a thorough knowledge of the escape room. This ensures that all team members are well-prepared to provide the best possible experience for our guests.

Marketing our business is another area where I contribute significantly. I often advertise at local markets, passing out cards and brochures to attract new customers. This hands-on approach has helped us build a strong community presence and draw in a diverse clientele.

In addition to these responsibilities, I also handle the technical side of things. Fixing props and resolving technological issues are part of my daily routine, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. Managing the place independently, especially when multiple rooms are in play simultaneously, has honed my multitasking and problem-solving skills.

Working at House of Deception has been an incredible journey, and I continue to enjoy every moment of it. The experience has not only allowed me to grow professionally but also to contribute to a family business that brings joy and excitement to so many people.
