Simon Davison is CEO and Founder of Escapology.  Based in Orlando, Escapology creates escape games that offer an amazing experience for families, friends, work colleagues or any group of people seeking some challenging fun.

In this fascinating conversation, Simon explains how a self-proclaimed claustrophobic got into the escape room industry, why focusing on what you do well is his go-to business strategy, and the process for creating stories and puzzles that both challenge and entertain.
