Are YOU ready to play a game?
In the last 8 years we have had the honor of employing some of the most amazing people we have ever met. For those of you who have moved on, thank you. For those of you that remain, we are so honored to welcome you to our family! (and those of you who missed the photo op... We missed you!) We build strong teams and these people prove that starts at home.
Tactical Escape 101 is a locally owned, operated & designed escape room brand created by Jennifer Fonfara & her family in hopes to bring quality entertainment to Wisconsin where she lives. During a vacation to see her NAVY sailors pictured below Justin (her husband) suggested getting locked in a room and trying to escape. (Jen was not amused) After the experienced though she admitted she'd fallen in love with it. The escape atmosphere seemed a perfect compliment to Jen’s MBA in Human Resources & with both she and husband Justin coming from a hospitality background reviews prove that the choice was right!
After 6 years of working behind the scenes Justin has found himself called to his new venture, "Mr Fun's Candy Shop!" He's found much joy in his new venture in the Cedar Mall, has become the Marriott of Rice Lake (2022) and has big plans for the future. This leaves Jen and her team to continue to grow the Tactical Escape 101 brand after closing two locations in 2019 & 20 and opening Maplewood in November of 2019.
"4 amazing stores and the staff to go with them will be the base for more stores in the future. We are blessed to have survived 2020 and look forward to great things."
As we move forward we will grow in our strengths and hire our weaknesses to become stronger than ever.
-Jennifer Fonfara
Our Family= Our Why
As a multi member military family we had to photo shop one in but that is kind of our life. We miss them while they are gone and Love them every day! The little guy in the middle is Bob (shark) Jennifer's older step brother.
We've added two grandbabies since this photo was taken but with the military kids away for their careers it's hard to get everyone together for an updated one! (Our next one will be without our Bob. He gained his heavenly wings in 2020. Thank you for the outpouring of cards and well wishes. We were very touched by those of you who had the pleasure of meeting, "noisy Bob." ♥️)
"Grandma" no sweeter word was ever spoken.
Now that we are 8 years old Jen tries hard to take Tuesdays to be Grandma. Sometimes that Grandma has to go to work with them all! Haha!
