Bronx high school students use brains, not brawn to create bodega-themed escape room

Wednesday, November 19, 2025
GRAND CONCOURSE, The Bronx (WABC) -- A group of high school students in the Bronx came up with a unique idea for an escape room.

Using engineering and design, they have created an escape room with a bodega theme.

Every part of the room is designed to look just like a corner store in the "Boogie Down" Bronx.

It even comes with a robot bodega cat.

Guests are locked in the room, and the only way to get out is to use your brains to solve a whole bunch of difficult puzzles.



It's made quite an impact in the community.
