A small camera is mounted in the back of the room so Andrew Gipson can keep an eye on the participants, but he doesn’t really pay attention.

“I only watch the first five minutes and near the end,” he said.

Gipson owns and runs Escape OKC, a live-action escape challenge. Groups of two to six pay about $75 to be locked in a room filled with puzzles and riddles. They have an hour to solve them. Ultimately, they have to attain the code to punch into a lock on the door.
