Escape Room and MonHun Cooler!

This Saturday I went to an escape room with two classmates as a belated Halloween event!  We didn't actually dress up or anything, and actually failed the escape room, but still had fun!

Blouse: Little Dipper (taobao)
Red skirt: ACDC Rag
Shoes: Sheep Puff (taobao)

We went to the same escape room as last year and did the Easter Island theme.  It took more math than I would have liked, and not enough clue-finding.  One instruction was also a bit unclear.  Fortunately, after we timed out, they allowed us to complete the puzzles anyway!

I also tried my hand at graphic liner while watching shows in discord with my friends.  The liner pen (Kate Tokyo) isn't opaque enough, so up close the thicker bits look patchy, unfortunately.  Graphic liner is difficult!



I've been recommended a different brand of liner so I'll try that next time I get a replacement.  This liner is fine for single lines and small wings like I normally do, but building up any sort of thickness makes it look patchy.

After the escape room, we went to Sushiro for dinner.  I also picked up my Monster Hunter cooler bag from the 20th anniversary that I previously posted about!


 It's a decently-sized bag, not too big, not too small.  I'm actually not sure what I'll use it for, but I like it!

Have you ever failed an escape room?  I'm glad we got to finish the puzzles, and it was still fun even if there was more thinking and less clue-finding than last time!

  1. I think you did a great job with the graphic liner! You drew it so neatly~
    And it's so cool to see you in something a lil' more grunge.
    Dw - I only went to an escape room once and we failed too hahaha

      Thank you!!! I hope to practice more graphic liner in the future 💪
      :o I'm not familiar with grunge style 😹Was just going for something a bit rocker/darkly-inclined!
      I hope you were allowed to finish the remaining puzzles after the time ran out!

  2. Wow! I think you did amazing with that liner work! I know I couldn't pull it off lol
    I've never tried an escape room before but I'm curious if I could figure out the stuff in a timely manner XD

      Thank you!! I think when I find a liner that doesn't get patchy, I'll try again and make it thicker :3
      Escape rooms are fun if you like puzzles! Having more people is also fun as you can brainstorm together. I think around 4 people is a good number!
