While attending the GRC Rallycross race in DC, Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross drivers Scott Speed and Tanner Foust, decided to take the competition off the track when they visited The Escape Room for a unique experience that would test both their speed and problem-solving abilities.
The Escape Room offers guests an immersive experience where they are locked inside a room and you are given 45 minutes to find the key, unlock the door and let yourself out. When you enter the room, you are presented with a scenario that explains why you are locked in this room and the urgency behind why you must find your way out quickly.
While inside, you must find hidden clues that are spread throughout the room inside objects, written in invisible ink and more. Each clue then leads you closer to finding the key that will let you out of the room. For the challenge, Speed and Foust each entered a room with two teammates to see whether Team Speed or Team Foust would emerge the fastest. As part of a bet, whoever’s team lost had to wear a special outfit picked out by the winning player to the GRC DC.
Check out the video above to see who was the winner!
