Clockwise Background:
Monica Schafer and Taisiya Paltseva turned their passion for gaming, arts, and immersive experiences into a career owning and operating trend-setting escape rooms. The duo founded Clockwise Escape Room in 2017. Breaking the mold of the escape room industry by creating next-level games with Disney quality set design, intriguing storylines, high-tech puzzles, and wow effects.
“Tech brings our escape rooms into the future, getting rid of traditional locks and keys and using technology to unlock the magic! I integrate diverse technology in our games to blow the socks off our players! If a player doesn’t say “Wow, how’d they do that?!” Or “Whoa that’s incredible!” during gameplay, then I feel I haven’t done my job.” – Taisiya Paltseva
Clockwise Escape Room made its debut in Boise in late 2020, with its first escape room, “The Asylum.” Then in February of 2021, “Party in Vegas” was officially open to the public for another escape room option. Then in June, their third escape room, “ The Incredible Machine” was added for more fun to the Clockwise Escape Room experience. Each escape room incorporates its very own unique and detailed storyline that will make you feel like you are living through the story!
Monica is the artist who designs and builds escape room sets and puzzle props. She creates immersive environments that bring the games to life.
“Immersion is key to any quality gaming experience. It’s my goal to make each player feel like they’ve been transported to another time and place. Players should feel like they are living the adventure, living in the game. That’s part of what makes our games so authentically awesome!” -Monica Schafer

Our Experience:
Our This is Boise team had the opportunity to do a team bonding experience with Clockwise! We did the “Party in Vegas” escape room, and we had a blast being immersed into a drunken night after a Vegas fiasco! When you first walk into the escape room, you immediately feel like you are in the Hangover movie.
The room was filled with props for us to wear to really get into character, from big goofy glasses to vibrant boas and even a red lacy bra. Everything was so realistic and the details were remarkable. From using actual hotels and clubs from Vegas in their clues to the wall decor and the messed up hotel room, it was filled with laughs and endless memories! We all agree it was an experience to remember, unlike the puzzled state from a “Party in Vegas.”
