5 Wits Productions

5 Wits was incorporated in 2003 by founder and president Matthew DuPlessie. The original business plan for 5 Wits, first called the Puzzle Room, was written and entered into the business plan competition at Harvard Business School in early 2003.

5 Wits' first location opened in October 2004 at 186 Brookline Avenue, Boston MA, hosting TOMB, 5 Wits first adventure. In 2006, 5 Wits spun off a sister company, 5 Wits Productions, Inc., to design and build walk-through adventures for its growing business and provide services for third-party clients like museums, theaters, and theme parks. In 2007, 5 Wits opened Operation Spy an hour long walk-through adventure inside the International Spy Museum.

In 2010, 5 Wits moved the original TOMB adventure to Pigeon Forge, TN and opened a new location in Foxboro MA at Patriot Place hosting Espionage and 20,000 Leagues. Since then, multiple new locations have opened, primarily in New York state.

5 Wits continues to expand, with new stores currently planned in Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania.
