Overview
The Great Escape is a social-venture concept created for ENTI 201. It partners with University District restaurants to host collaborative escape-room events during quieter hours.
Purpose
The phone-free format is intended to reduce social isolation, encourage face-to-face teamwork and introduce students to new people while creating incremental traffic for local venues.
Status
The course project developed the customer problem, event model and partnership case. It remains a concept rather than a launched service.
