02 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Escape the Cabin is a small family business about 12 minutes east of Gaylord. It opened its first jail escape game in 2017 inside the Big Lake Party Store on M-32, and in summer 2024 moved a third of a mile down Big Lake Road to the Tip Top building. That's where the new Jailbreak Escape Game launched: an intermediate, family-friendly jailbreak for 4 to 10 players. Their motto says it all: 'Come on vacation, leave on probation.'
- A family-friendly jailbreak for 4 to 10 players
- Running since 2017, in a new home since 2024
- $25 a person
