what is escapetown peoria?

Kris McClelland escaped from her first escape room in 2018 while visiting Branson. Her group started the game in the dark handcuffed to a wall. Since then she has completed over 125 games. She and her husband Gregg have six children, 4 grandchildren, two really cute mini schnauzers and 30 (yes 30) chickens!! She has a degree in communications and theatre. She loves having the best escape room staff EVER, designing rooms, and running the background of the business, but one of her favorite things to do is to run games for customers!

Hey, I’m Kaitlyn! Escapetown Peoria gave me my first escape room experience, and I’m excited to continue sharing all the enjoyment our escape rooms have to offer with you! I’ve been a part of this amazing team since October 2023 and wouldn’t trade a second of it!

Hi, I’m Angelic! I’m a homebody that loves puzzles and critical thinking. I’m still new to escape rooms but running a game is always a fun experience.

Hi, I’m Jason. I enjoy fishing and anything to do with outdoor activities, I also enjoy reading and playing board games with my family. I joined as a game master in January 2022 so I’m pretty new to this but it seems like it will be fun!

Hi! I am Mitch Santini. I’m a 18-year-old senior at Illinois Valley Central High School. I’m a 4 year marcher for the Grey Ghosts and am in both of the jazz bands and our wind ensemble.

Hello! My name is Izzy Dorothy and I have been a game master since March of 2022. Although my job is at an escape room, I am actually not good at escape rooms at all! When I am not at work, I am playing in the marching band and singing in the choir for Dunlap High School. Hope to see you soon at Escapetown Peoria!!

Hi, I’m Karina! I am obsessed with Criminal Minds and true crime! Also, I’m currently playing volleyball & studying at Bradley University to become a mechanical engineer. I’ve escaped from over 20 rooms around the midwest!

I’m Tyler and I’ve been at Escapetown since March of 2022. I decided to be a game master because I thoroughly enjoy games and puzzles, as well as seeing other peoples thought process as they play them. I enjoy all things baseball and someday hope to visit every stadium across the country. My dog (stalking you through the left window) is my pride and joy, and while he looks big, he’s just a big softie. Hope to see you around Escapetown soon!

Hi! My name is Madie Gonzalez and I’m studying Accounting at Bradley University. Believe it or not working at Escapetown Peoria gave me my first opportunity to play at an escape room. I’ve been apart of this amazing team since August of 2023 and have loved every second of it! I love volleyball and the Cubs and you might even catch me at a Bradley basketball game. Hope to see you guys soon!

Sofia has been working at Escaptown for a total of 2 years! She loves being able to meet so many different people through working at Escapetown. Her favorite part about working here is the staff, everyone has such a great connection and there’s never a dull moment being on shift. She hopes you come and play a game, they’re a lot of fun and she promises not to laugh at your group too much 🙂

Hi, I’m Willow! I have been a game master at ETP since October of 2022. Until this job I didn’t know much about escape rooms but I’ve fallen in love! The people here are absolutely amazing and I can guarantee you will leave your room with a smile on your face! see you guys soon!

I’ve loved working at escapetown and it has always been fun meeting new people every game.

Hi! I’m Bryce, and I started as a game master here in December 2023. I’m a big fan of jazz music, video games, and D&D, and played for 4 years in my high school’s jazz and marching bands in East Peoria. I’m currently studying history at Knox College over in Galesburg, and plan to go into higher education. Ever since I beat my first escape room back in 2020, I’ve always wanted to run escape rooms, and now here I am! You’ll usually find me here during my summer, winter, and spring breaks, plus some weekends during the term. Hope to see you soon!

Hi, I’m Tristan and I have been working at Escape Town Peoria since June of 2023. Besides working here all I really do is wrestle for Dunlap High School and kickbox, which will explain why I’ll probably come to work with a bruise or two, and also why I’m not very good at escape rooms myself, but I love running them and meeting new people that are way smarter than me.

I like sports and working
