ABOUT T.M. KINSLEY
I design interactive experiences that bring people together through creativity, storytelling, and play.
My Story
I started my career chasing a dream of becoming a rock musician, but that passion soon evolved into creating music and sound design for video games, media, and live entertainment. In 2017, I played my first escape room—and it completely changed the direction of my career. Within a year, my brother and I founded Intrigue Escape Games, where we designed original rooms featuring custom puzzles, scenic environments, props, lighting, and sound. Although the pandemic brought that chapter to a close, it also opened the door to new opportunities. Since then, I’ve continued designing escape rooms, themed attractions, video game puzzles, and immersive live experiences.
Design Philosophy
• Guest experience comes first.
• Budget is a design constraint, not an excuse.
• The best puzzles tell a story.
• A completed project is worth more than twenty great ideas.
• Memorable experiences don’t require huge budgets.
