New sci-fi themed escape room opens in North County
‘Renegade: The Retrofit’ is now available for booking
– Escape! at Margarita Adventures has launched a new sci-fi-themed escape room called, “Renegade: The Retrofit.” This marks the Central Coast’s latest addition to its lineup of immersive escape rooms, joining the “Rita’s Relics,” room, which opened in 2022.
“Renegade: The Retrofit” is now available for booking at EscapeMargarita.com. The room is open Thursday through Sunday, and tickets are priced at $44 per person. Guests must be at least eight years old to participate.
An escape room is an interactive experience where participants work together to solve puzzles within a specific time frame in order to “escape.” The official description for “Renegade: The Retrofit” reads: “Episode 1: You have been chosen to board the Renegade, an intergalactic research vessel. You and your teammates must carry out a series of tasks in order to complete an upgrade to the ship’s General Artificial Intelligence Interface. Do you have what it takes to complete the upgrade before time runs out?”
Frank Rodgers, the escape room’s creator at Margarita Adventures, said the goal is to offer fun for the entire family while challenging participants’ wits and ingenuity.
“We spent more than a year creating this immersive new experience, and I believe that you will be blown away by the sights, sounds and challenges,” Rodgers said.
Rodgers also revealed that “Renegade: The Retrofit” is the first episode in a planned trilogy of “Renegade” escape rooms, hinting at a deeper storyline that will unfold in future installments.
Margarita Adventures, located in Santa Margarita in San Luis Obispo County, is known for its zipline tours, nature tours, and e-bike vineyard tours. The addition of escape rooms has garnered rave reviews, earning a five-star rating on Google Reviews.
One recent reviewer wrote, “This is the best escape room I’ve ever done. Just challenging enough to keep your brain working, but not so hard that it’s frustrating.”
Another reviewer shared, “It had a cool theme and great puzzles which my family and I had a lot of fun solving.”
