OCEG Launches New Partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters

Old City Escape Games is proud to announce a new upcoming partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America in Philadelphia! 

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of hosting one of the most dynamic duos to have played our escape rooms. Two friends mistakenly booked to play “The Midnighters” for Tuesday but arrived on Sunday, the actual day they intended to reserve. Although they came a few days earlier than expected, we were so charmed by the charismatic (and extremely apologetic) pair that we absolutely happy to arrange for an impromptu game. It was such a blast watching these guys embody the Midnighters' spirit of friendship to recover the moon rock. Though the two had an obvious bond, they didn't confirm they were a “Big Sib/Little Sib” pairing from the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) organization until they return a few weeks later to try another experience. We were so thrilled to see them again!

Big and Little successfully completed both missions as Midnighters and Benjamin Franklin's assistants, completing both games in under 60 minutes. Seeing how much fun they had playing together in our escape rooms was so rewarding and inspiring that we really wanted to keep sharing our work with more BBBS matches. 

As a result, we contacted Big Brothers Big Sisters and we’re proud to announce that we’ll be launching a partnership with the program to offer more accessible and affordable opportunities to BBBS matches. Soon, Big Sibs and Little Sibs will be able to play our games at generous discounts.

At Olde City Escape Games, we love when team-building can morph into community building and hope to see more Big Sibs and Little Sibs bond under the spirit of fun and friendship.
