Community & Online Store

Great Escape Adventures is a family owned tabletop board game store with a passion for board games and a heart for community.

Our tables are provided free of charge for all to come and enjoy their favorite game, or play one from our lending library; which is still growing due to donations from others and additions of our own.

My wife and I hail from Corning, NY and we hope to see you one of these times when we are there! Thank you all for being such a great community of people to be a part of. ~ Ken, Jen, and family

ONLINE PICKUP – You are able to purchase online and pick up at your closest GEA game store, free of shipping charges, or have it delivered direct to you for a small fee.

Escape Rooms

We have an ESCAPE ROOM at our Arnot Mall, Horseheads, NY, location.

Currently this is our only location, and the Mark Twain Escape Room is our most current escape room adventure. We are always working on something behind the scenes and have future dreams for more!

An ESCAPE ROOM is a fully immersive adventure game where groups of up to 8 people work together to interact with objects and clues to solve ciphers, riddles, and puzzles within a full size room or series of rooms.

The objective of the game is to attempt to solve the mystery and escape the room in under 60 minutes.

WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY BOARD GAME NETWORK?

The Community Board Game Network is a not-for-profit humanitarian organization that utilizes board gaming, adventure, and creativity to add value to local communities . Check us out on Facebook: www.facebook.com/CommunityBoardgameNetwork
Community ~ Geek Life & Organized Play

Our focus is to enable community connection in creative ways such as Board Game Conventions and meet-ups, Community Organized Play, “Live” Real-World Escape Hunts, and Escape Games of all types; including Adventure-themed Leadership, Team Building, and Educational Workshops.

Community Board Game Network events are intentional about nurturing a family-friendly environment that is mutually considerate of all people. Our desire is to add life-giving events to people and communities.

Community Board Game Network derives its funding from event admission fees, donations from “rounding up to the next dollar” at your participating FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store), raffles, and corporate sponsors.

Funds are primarily used to add value to local communities by creating and sponsoring local community events, keeping ticket costs affordable to attendees, and providing a reward system for GM's volunteering to lead at community events.

THANK YOU for Partnering with us!
Life is beautiful. Let’s adventure together!
Ken & Jen Yentzer and family, Founders, Community Board Game Network
