Happy Birthday to our favorite accountant! DIDJA KNOW!? Rick Moranis made up the entire Ghostbusters scene with the party at his apartment. “I'm givin' this whole thing as a promotional expense; that's why I invited clients instead of friends.” There was no script, just Moranis riffing on his idea to play Louis Tully as an accountant. Rick Moranis is 68 today. #rickmoranis #ghostbusters #escaperoom #playescapeak #noir #thetomb #gamenight #datenight #teambuilding #tourism #anchorage #alaska (at Central Park West,New York City, NY.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN0edH7nYE2/?igshid=5d78jc4hh5l2

Rise and shine, woodchuck chuckers! DIDJA KNOW!? The 1965 hit “I Got You Babe” by Sonny and Cher was re-popularized in Harold Ramis’ film Groundhog Day, and has been a staple ever since. The last time the song was performed live by the couple was 1987, when both Sonny and Cher (after divorcing in 1975) were on The David Letterman Show. Dave convinced them to do the song live, and they put aside their differences to deliver a rather sweet final performance.

It’s August 15, 1935. 10pm. Benny Goodman is on the radio and I’m still at my desk workin’ on a new case, the biggest case in this town - the Vandergrift murder. A knock at the door this late usually doesn’t mean anything good, and the Tommy gun shadow cast on the glass of my office door confirms it ain’t no singin’ telegram. Shoulda figured. It’s not my birthday for another couple o’ months. I’m Detective Ed Miller and this murder investigation has just gotten a lot more dangerous. I’ve lured them away and I gotta cool it at my hideout for a while, but while they’re out lookin’ for me, you head to my office and finish piecin’ together all the evidence from this murder. I need your help, kid. You up for it?

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born this date in 1892. DIDJA KNOW!? Tolkien later said that he only finished his Lord of the Rings books due to the encouragement of his good friend, “Narnia” author C.S. Lewis. Tolkien first met Lewis at an Oxford faculty meeting in 1926, but the two did not become fast friends. They bonded later over a shared appreciation of Norse mythology, and remained good friends until Lewis’ passing in 1963. #tolkien #lotr #escaperoom #playescapeak #noir #thetomb #gamenight #datenight #teambuilding #tourism #anchorage #alaska (at Middle Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYRJfwZrDkb/?utm_medium=tumblr

BETTY WHITE PASSES AT AGE 99 Before Betty was a huge TV star, she worked in theatre and radio. Then, during WWII, she set her entertainment ambitions aside to serve in the American Women’s Voluntary Services. After that, she had an incredible television and film career, starring in shows from The Mary Tyler Moore show to Golden Girls and Saturday Night Live. Her 100th birthday would’ve been January 17. RIP Betty. #bettywhite #americantreasure #escaperoom #playescapeak #noir #thetomb #gamenight #datenight #teambuilding #tourism #anchorage #alaska (at Escape Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/playescapeak/p/CYKQ_O8PGN1/?utm_medium=tumblr

SWIPE TO SEE INSIDE A MUMMY Advanced imaging has allowed archeologists to “digitally unwrap the 3,500-year-old mummy of King Amenhotep I. One of the reasons our first escape room is Egyptian is because of stories like this. Amenhotep died suddenly at the age of 35, but there are no signs of trauma or disease. He was also one of the only mummies to be buried with his brain still intact (they usually removed the brain during mummification). #escaperoom #escapealaska #playescapeak #thetomb #ancientegypt #mummy #gamenight #datenight #teambuilding #tourism #anchorage #alaska (at Escape Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYEGGOzr4vS/?utm_medium=tumblr
