You know you’re in it for the long haul when you can survive the stress of saving humanity together. The Edge of the Enchanted Forest at Trapped Escape Room in Willoughby forces couples to divide and conquer by placing them inside a wooden cupboard separated by a floor-to-ceiling glass wall. They must use their communication skills to unlock the cupboard, revealing a magic forest and evil beings that want to drive unworthy humans from the forest — unless they are stopped in less than 60 minutes. “When your time is running out, you start rushing and your brain doesn’t work as well,” says project manager and designer Lauren Connell. “It shows different sides of people.” 38721 Mentor Ave., Willoughby, 216-309-1796, trappedcle.com
After: With flavors such as blueberry pancake and chocolate covered pretzel, Baby Cakes’ gourmet cupcakes are magical. 4145 Erie St., Willoughby, 440-527-8609, babycakeswilloughby.vpweb.com
