Not a board game but Escape Rooms are gaining popularity in the gaming world.
Regina's is now open:

I've done one before and it was a ton of fun!
I've also seen the one in Laser Quest advertised, though haven't yet tried it out myself.

I'm going to have to try one of these...
Hi Lori, I've recently tried this and our 24HR to Play With Your Food Fundraising team was planning on promoting this to the SaskGames group and outside the group as a fundraiser! I'll be meeting with the manager of Laser Quest to discuss possibilities in a week or so.
Our PWYF team now has tickets for the Escape Room fundraiser at Laser Quest!
See one of our team members to purchase your team ticket or message Nikki J. (forum name: nikkisportraits) (Cash only please!)

Choose form 2 theme rooms: The Cellar or Vacation Vandals
Vacation Vandals: Your team has won tickets for an exotic vacation! Congratulations! The only hitch is vandals have hidden your tickets. You have 45 min. to put your heads together to solve the puzzles to locate your tickets or the plane leaves without you.
The Cellar: Your team is in the cellar of a cereal killer! You have only 45 min. to solve the last murder before risking becoming his next victims!

We tried the Deadlock Escape Shanghai Lockup room here in Saskatoon. Not going to lie, was tons of fun but pretty darn challenging! Will have to try out the Regina rooms next time I'm in town.
I would be happy to arrange a team ticket or answer any questions someone may have about the Escape Room fundraiser. I realize sometimes I think I am clear but am only clear as mud. Ill try to clarify if you let me know what is confusing about the informational post above.
Funniest part was I wrote "cereal killer" instead of serial killer...Hey its a family event. I didn't want anyone to be too scared. Solve the murder in under 45 min. or possibly become the killer's next victim, death by Cocoa Puffs :lol
