Escape Room USA

Jennifer ’97 and Brendon Harbron ’96 fell in love with the escape room industry back in 2015 when their game-loving family went on vacation and were enticed after seeing an ad for an escape room. After their trip, they jumped on the opportunity and opened the first escape room in Indiana shortly after.

Since opening their first location in Indianapolis, they’ve seen success and have opened two other locations in Fishers, Indiana, and Columbus, Ohio, with a fourth opening soon. Additionally, they are currently ranked #1 and #2 for best room escape games in the United States on Tripadvisor.

The Harbrons, while growing in size and success, still strive to show their love of God in the way they run their business. 

“It’s all about how we value people and care for people, whether it be a customer or employee who comes in the door. As business people, it’s not all about the money. You do need to make money to grow, but it’s also about the people you interact with each day, and what you can do for them.”
