NEWPORT, RI — Paradigm Escape Rooms will open on William Street in Newport on Thursday.

The new escape room facility features two high-tech, second-generation game rooms, promising an unforgettable adventure for thrill-seekers of all ages, a company spokesperson said.

To celebrate the grand opening, all visitors on Thursday will receive a special discount on their escape room adventure. Additionally, Paradigm Escape Rooms will offer exclusive group rates for corporate team-building events and birthday parties for the next month.

"We are thrilled to bring this unparalleled entertainment experience to the Aquidneck Island community," Owner Deanna Lopes said. "Our rooms are the result of the unique combination of art, set design, technology, and gaming. For over two years, so many members of our community generously contributed their time and skill sets to see that this project makes it to the finish line."

A Paradigm Escape Rooms spokesperson said the escape rooms challenge participants to think outside the box, work as a team, and uncover hidden mysteries. The new facility boasts the following key features:

King’s Tomb

Either prove your worthiness of studying with the great Leonard da Vinci or enter King Narutti’s cursed tomb and retrieve his hidden treasure.

Immersive Design

Each escape room is designed with attention to detail, creating an atmosphere that transports players to another world. Many local artists and technicians spent hundreds of hours collectively working on the set design for the facility.

Challenging Puzzles

Participants will encounter a series of mind-bending puzzles, riddles, and challenges that require wit, teamwork, and creativity to solve.

Paradigm Escape Rooms is perfect for families, friends, and corporate teams looking for a unique bonding experience that promotes problem-solving and communication skills, the company said.

"Paradigm Escape Rooms is a facility unlike any other," Lopes said. "Inspired by Newport and its rich history, we guarantee that when you step into our building, you will feel transported to another era."
