Mesa Top Adventure reopens downtown with escape rooms and merged shops
Carolyn Cowen reopened Mesa Top Adventure at 109 Central Park Square, merging two downtown shops and adding sports- and high-tech escape rooms. The move aims to draw families and visitors.
Carolyn Cowen reopened Mesa Top Adventure at 109 Central Park Square by folding Mesa Top Games & Toys and L.A. Bootery into one larger downtown store and adding new escape rooms. The June 24 ribbon-cutting drew attendees to the new space.
Cowen led attendees through the new escape rooms, which feature sports and high-tech themes. The store still carries boots, safety footwear, hiking shoes, toys and games, giving the expanded space a mix of practical shopping and entertainment that is uncommon for a small downtown retail block. The new layout also puts the shop at the center of a more visible pedestrian area in Central Park Square.
The escape-room concept is built around Cluetivity, which combines escape rooms, scavenger hunts, geocaching, augmented reality and GPS-based exploration. The format can be customized to include Los Alamos County landmarks, and it includes a science experiment.
The Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce hosted the celebration. The expansion had support from Los Alamos MainStreet, Central Park Square, LA Tech, Finishing Touch, Village Arts and Aspen Copies. County Councilor and Council Vice Chair Ryn Herrmann, Councilor Melanee Hand, Economic Development Program Manager Anita Barela and the county’s new Economic Development Administrator, Max Khudiakov attended the event. The chamber has been active in Los Alamos since 1963 and operates as a program of the Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation.
In July 2022, the chamber celebrated the grand opening of Mesa Top Games & Toys and the relocation of L.A. Bootery to 1247B Central Ave. A later chamber event also marked a smoothie and milkshake shop at Mesa Top Games & Toys. Los Alamos MainStreet’s Business Accelerator offers training and help with merchandising, insurance and marketing, while MainStreet Marketplace at 168 Central Park Square, which opened on March 2, provides business incubation, coworking, private offices, artist studio space and business development services.
