COMPANIES & CONFERENCES: ESCAPE THE NORM
Understanding doesn't emerge in the confines of the cubicle; it's produced by a clash of ideas, a merging of minds.
Rafael's unorthodox approach through gamification creates opportunities for unique understanding. He designs custom escape rooms, team building activities, company games, role-playing experiences, and more.
His vision will lead your team or attendees into a disruptive realm, where imagination and instict are welded to logic and problem-solving.
What happens when perspectives and ideas are allowed to mutate and flourish?
COMMUNITIES & CHARITIES: CREATIVE COLLABORATIONS
Meaningful interactions create memorable experiences. Rafael can develop a custom event for your community, organization, or cause.
Outdoor escape rooms, scavenger hunts, al fresco puzzle games, holiday celebrations, custom experiences -- add a new dimension to your next gathering, fundraiser, or team-building session.
Rafael creates adventures and interactive stories for a broad range of audiences.
What happens when families, friends, and co-workers are brought together to face challenges as a team?
UNLEASH THE POSSIBILITIES
Escape Reality
In addition to creating custom games and experiences for companies and organizations, Rafael invites you to host an event at Whole Brain Escape in Apex, NC where he and his wife, Heather, are the proud owners.
If you're in the NC Triangle, you can experience Rafael's game design firsthand: explore a mysterious cave, bust out of the Eighties, or match wits with a mad scientist.

testimonials
"We partnered with Whole Brain Escape to put on two family-friendly scavenger hunts throughout the Town of Apex. They were able to take our vision and create customized riddles to fit our organization that were challenging, yet fun for all ages. The puzzles that Whole Brain Escape came up with were perfect for creating an activity for socially distant entertainment!" (Town of Apex Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Staff)
"I had the pleasure of working with him on SOCOM 4 and I enjoyed our collaboration on a professional level as much as a personal one. Rafael is affable, sharp, hilarious and innovative, and I recommend him especially in the genre of horror in which his skills approach those of (mad) genius." (Ed Byrne, Design Director, Turn 10 Studios)
"I am quite pleased with how the scavenger hunt turned out. It was a new activity for the school but was very well received." (Maureen Churchill, Parent Faculty Association for Sterling Montessori)
"There’s truly so many great puzzles in this room that it’d be impossible to discuss them all." (Escape Adventurer's review of Mystery of the Mad Scientist)
"I’ve played almost 400 rooms at this point, and I think Whole Brain is the best in the Raleigh Durham area." (Bookeo review by Emerson S.)
