Rob & Tamara Bertrand – Owners
They have two children, Austin and Hayley who have grown up in the Clark County area their entire lives. Their family continues to grow with the addition in August 2022 of their granddaughter, Kinsley. Rob has always been in the entertainment industry so owning an escape room was right up his alley.
