Nicholas And Allen's story
With more than 11 years of combined escape room management experience, we’re proud of what REDACTED Escape Rooms has already become and excited to expand our creativity and expertise as LGBTQ owners of a growing entertainment business.
I, Nicholas, am a former high school math and computer science teacher whose love of puzzles led me to a part-time role at an escape room in Saint Paul. Over time, I advanced to General Manager, overseeing daily operations while contributing to puzzle design and programming electronic elements.
Allen holds a degree in video game design and development and previously worked as a technical artist in the casino gaming industry. After joining the same escape room in Saint Paul, his role quickly expanded into a full-time position encompassing room construction, prop fabrication and repair, electronics wiring, and graphic design.
After relocating from Saint Paul to Milwaukee, we took the leap to open our own escape room. Together, we bring hands-on expertise in every aspect of the business — from puzzle creation and build-out to team leadership and operations. The incredible feedback and five-star reviews we’ve received affirm that we’re building something special. With passion, determination, and the right capital, we’re ready to grow REDACTED Escape Rooms into a must-visit destination.
