Escape Room and Mystery Games Retail Annex which opened in April. Patrons used virtual reality headgear, working with others to answer clues and maneuver their way through 3D simulated settings.

Melissa Showalter, who owns the businesses with her daughter Gretchen, said in an email, “It was not bringing in enough bookings to keep the doors open at the G Street location. We are going to offer it as a pop-up event monthly (or more often if the demand is there) at our main store.”

Meanwhile, another company is giving a more traditional escape room concept a try. EscapeDavis opened in December at 140 B St., Suite 6B, owner Alex Recalde said.

In this escape room, participants work together in a real room to investigate and solve the puzzles to escape before their 60 minutes runs out. The suggested age is 12 and up. Minors need the consent of a parent or guardian.

The latest theme is “Gunrock’s Den,” where participants investigate a mysterious speakeasy involved in an illegal alcohol trade. Learn more at https://escapedavis.com/ Davis previously had another escape room, Escape Key Davis, which opened in 2017 and appears to have closed the following year.

Yolo County Environmental Health forced the temporary closure of MT BBQ House on Jan. 20. The restaurant at 229 G St. was still closed as of late Thursday. The reason cited for closure was insect/rodent infestation.

I was a little worried when I got a sneak peek at a legal notice (notice to creditors) running in The Enterprise’s classifieds section about a bulk sale of the Baskin Robbins store in Davis. But manager Lydia Chale said the store is just changing owners.

“Everything is going to stay the same,” she said, confirming that hours will likely remain 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and 11 to 11 on Fridays and Saturdays.
