The Cager Express

The And Then Top 10 Series continues as Beth Divel shares with us 10 escape rooms that she absolutely loves.

Prepare for a great list but with a little bit of heartbreak because some of Beth's list no longer exists anymore.

She's here to share the nostalgia, nonsense, and new rooms for you to get on your wish list.

Back in 2022 the crew shouted out their respective Top 10 Escape Rooms Ever. Two years later and they've been asked to highly 10 new ones from the ones left out before and the rooms they've experienced over the last 2 years.

This episode, the one and only, Tatiyana recaps 10 S-level adventures she experienced over the road to 300+.

A mixture of SoCal, NorCal and even Arizona, is a list worth reckoning with.

We hope you enjoy!
