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. In the summer of 2024, we moved Escape the Cabin from the former Big Lake Party Store location 1/3 of a mile down the road to the “Tip Top” building on Big Lake Rd.

We were Gaylord’s 1st Escape Game

More than an escape room…

Sixty Minutes of Fun

Jailbreak Escape Game offers an arresting moment with family, friends, or coworkers. 4 to 10 players may be detained and arrested at the First Knuckle Middle Finger jail. Silly crimes committed by silly people looking for a communication and cooperation moment in the Jailbreak escape. Whether behind bars or in handcuffs, an opportunity to create an escape awaits and unfolds as the players assist with deciphering clues to help in this team-building activity. With your mug shot and arrest records in hand, you will either escape in sixty minutes or find yourself put on probation. Freedom is ticking away as the time runs down. This room is age and family-appropriate. It is an intermediate-level room for people of reading age and at least 48” tall recommended. Come on vacation, leave on probation.
