Michelle Hill ''The Shadowy Mastermind''

Favorite Room: Escape the 1980's

Very little is known about the elusive entrepreneur behind the curtain here at Escape Games Live. There have been whispers that she descended from the great puzzle designer Lockingus Longtimus, the ancient Latin puzzle creator. Some say she traveled through the land for 75 years training under the most renowned designers of escape rooms and stays alive due to a small amount of dragon blood in her system. Alternatively, she could just be the woman in charge, but mysterious. Elusive and mysterious.

Steve ''Tall Silent Type'' Shellenberger

Favorite Room: Sherlock's Office

Steve is descended from a long line of Steves dating all the way back to Steve. I sat down to speak with Steve to find out more about him for this biography of Steve but it appears Steve’s vow of silence, forced on him by Steve the 23rd Duke of the Earl of Steve, I was unable to ascertain any real facts about him save that he appears to be accompanied by Country music when he enters or leaves a room and he has a fondness for koalas.

Mike "Smurftastic" Reynolds

Favorite Room: Young Sherlock

Mike hasn’t told us what brought him here but after some research, we found he was able to convince the French authorities that he was “not the droid they were looking for” and made it back to the U.S. by convincing the Swiss to take a side and announce that they were Pepsi drinkers. All of this because he left his passport in a hotel in the Alps. Now back home, he spends his time trying to get photographic proof of Santa Claus and Easter Bunny and helping wayward Smurfs find their Smurfing home. That Mike sure is one Smurf of a Smurf.

Alex ''Please Fix Me'' Kuhlman

Favorite Room: The Precinct

Alex Kuhlman is our resident Maintenance tech/ duct tape master. He loves working out the details to a problem, and can usually be found in a junkyard creating a small army of robotic mice (all named Bruce) with which to take over the world.
He loves movies and video games and has been asked by his wife to put the controller down on numerous occasions.
Alex enjoys hosting games and has been told many times to stop locking people in rooms just to “test out the locks.”

Karen "it's Electric" Fairlamb

Favorite Room: The Jungle

Karen came to Escape Games Live shortly after leaving the EPP (Electronics Protection Program). There, it was discovered that anything with an electrical charge or anything that plugs in behaves differently around her and eventually just gives up. Karen is the quiet humor ninja of the Escape Games Live crew and has found her niche as both an inspector and as a rentable Sherpa.

Declan "Curtain Call" Hilt

Favorite Room: The Mad Doctor

All the world is a stage and Declan takes advantage of each curtain rise, except for when it rises during awkward situations like using the bathroom. Come to think of it, the WHOLE world can’t be a stage because when would the lights go off? He can’t sleep with the lights on. What if he’s at the movies and the audience decides to clap during the wrong time? You know what, we think that just the stage should be the stage. Yeah. That way he won’t be judged if he’s eating and drops ketchup on his shirt.
Escape Games Live room host, starring Declan Hilt as Declan Hilt.
