The Great Escape Room is a real-life Room Escape game. The objective is to escape from a locked room by finding clues and solving puzzles. It's a hybrid of a scavenger hunt and a puzzle game.  
  
You and your team of up to 10 will actually be locked in a room! You will have 60 minutes to try to escape. Find clues and solve puzzles to plot your Great Escape and open the door!  
  
Locked in a room with no way out, you must search for hidden compartments, secret passageways, and locks that can only be opened by your imagination. The trial is timed and teamwork is essential. Success, failure and bonding are inevitable - escape is not! When the hour is up you will only be guaranteed laughter, a sense of accomplishment, a new respect for your teammates, and, of course, a group photo. This is an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime - assuming you get out!

In the tradition of Sweet Wallace's and The Loading Dock, The B.O.B. returned to its live music roots with the opening of H.O.M.E. (House of Music & Entertainment) in 2012. The stage at H.O.M.E. plays host to a variety of music genres including Rock, Blues, Tribute Bands, Indie, R&B, Country, Jazz, Folk, EDM and more. The room is casual, funky and the perfect reflection of The B.O.B.'s warehouse origins. The decor is a unique juxtaposition of modern amenities and repurposed vintage instruments. The Bourbon Bar at H.O.M.E. is impressive, with an ample variety of premium Bourbon, Scotch and Whiskey available. With a casual atmosphere, vintage decor, and a plethora of live music genres–like an old pair of jeans–H.O.M.E. is always a great fit. **H.O.M.E. Sweet Home!**
