Clueology Escape Room | Loveland, CO

Are you looking for a fun outing for friends? A unique activity to kick-off date night? Team building for a group of individuals? Ladies night out? Heck, are you just wanting to try something new? Clueology Escape Rooms is all about “survival of the fittest” and will challenge your mind and communication, while providing a fun and entertaining atmosphere. The escape experience is 60 minutes and is a great adventure on its own or add-on activity to any outing you are planning!

But what is an escape room you ask? Will I be locked in and cannot get out? Who is there with me? Do things jump out at me? Is it scary? ALL GREAT QUESTIONS!!

I just participated in my first escape room experience with Clueology Escape Rooms in Loveland, CO, and let me tell you it was SO. MUCH. FUN. The above questions were all asked by the women in our group who participated, we were all newbies and did not know what to expect but we did it! Take a chance at something new.

An escape room is a mind game. It is a physical adventure game in which players are “locked” in a room and have to use elements of the room and clues to solve a series of puzzles and escape within a set time limit. The owners of Clueology, Ryan and Krista, created their escape experience from the ground up. They used their logical and creative thinking to put together a fun, interactive, and mind challenging puzzle to work through with 7 other individuals. Their current room holds a maximum of 8 participants. Coming soon is an additional room that will hold up to 10 participants.

Clueology Escape Rooms just opened on February 10, 2017 and are currently running a special for $10 off. Book your escape experience at Clueology Rooms and use the code clueology10 at check out.

Rebecca Moon is from Georgia and just as southern sweet as one can be, she is an amazing woman! She recently moved to the Fort Collins area with her family. She is the owner of the new Lingerie Boutique in Fort Collins- Mystique Lingerie. Have you checked it out yet? They opened in October of 2016 and have everything from accessories to candles, body care to pajamas and a lot in between. Find your sexy and check it out.

Fun Fact: Rebecca has a family of 7 AND loves True Crime.

Describe yourself in THREE words:
Strong, Independent, Hard worker

Tell us about your business and how you became the successful business woman you are today:
I am the owner of Mystique Lingerie. We sell Pajamas, sexy lingerie, specialty bras, pheromone infused bath and beauty products.

I got the courage to open up my own store because the boutique I managed in Georgia closed and reopened under new ownership. When the new owner took over, they were out of state, and I ended up setting up most of the store on my own. I had always wanted to open my own boutique, and I knew if I could do this kind of thing for someone else, then why not do it for myself? I was very motivated to open up my store in Colorado, because I knew a business would be much easier to build in a town like Fort Collins where the economy was thriving. Although I do have other employees, I put in about 60 hours each week. In order to stay inspired and maintain a positive outlook, I draw on inspiration from my family, primarily my husband and sister, who are very supportive and give me positive reinforcement that helps me remember how great of a decision it was to open my own store. I also look daily at an inspirational vision board with business/success quotes that I created to stay motivated and keep moving forward.

What are your professional goals for the next 6 months?
To grow my business by provide a unique service and filling a niche in the Fort Collins market.

What do you consider your greatest professional achievement?
Opening my owner store

How do you maintain a work/life balance?
Depend on my husband and kids to help out with our kids and home life, cooking, laundry etc. Take some time to myself. Listen to music, exercise, or grab coffee with friends. Sleep late when I can.
I try to make every Sunday a free day from the store.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Escape Room

What websites do you visit everyday?
lingeriejournal.com, pinterest, facebook, and my major wholesalers to check for daily deals

What is your goal for retirement?
To move to a tropical location

What are your top three favorite people/places/things to do in your city?
I love to visit antique stores, record stores, and try new restaurants

Do you have any advice for women who'd like to start their own company?
Research, Research, Research,
Look for a unique market that is not being served. Offer a service or good that is highly desired but the market isn't saturated. Make lots of personal and professional relationships.

Any final comments?
Opening a business is easy, but it takes hard work, dedication, and ambition to keep going after the new is gone.
