Escape the Cabin: A Team Building and Group Activity

In 2015, First Knuckle Middle Finger launched Escape the Cabin which sat deep in the woods east of Gaylord, and ran it until 2017. In 2017, we purchased the Big Lake Party Store on M-32, east of Gaylord and opened the Jail Escape Game, and it’s still going strong in 2021. In 2018, we purchased the former Newport School building in Ironwood, Michigan, constructed 1919-1921, along with an entire city block of property, 2.6 acres in total. In the fall of 2021, we launched Escape the Castle inside the former school, starting with a Halloween theme.

We were Gaylord’s 1st Escape Game
