Gemini ♊︎ (May 21-June 20)- Live! Casino
Wouldn’t having two of you make life so much easier? Well, this is what Geminis think of every day. Gemini is an expressive and witty sign that embodies two distinct characters; you never know which one you will encounter. They tend to abruptly become serious, reflective, and restless but are social, conversational, and up for some fun. They think things out rather than merely relying on their emotions, which makes them incredibly flexible in any circumstance.

To test human connections and psychological depth, look no further than mission escape rooms. There are three locations currently in Anne Arundel County, one in Gambrills, Arundel Mills, and Annapolis! The idea is straightforward for people who have never participated in an escape room. You have 50 minutes or fewer to escape a confined space by working as a team and using all your wits and talents. You'll need to use teamwork, puzzle solving, and clue-finding to open the closed door. Even if you can't get away in time, you'll still have a good time! But intense and cunning Scorpios will certainly outwit the tricks and puzzles these Escape Rooms provide.
Sagittarius ♐︎ (November 22 - December 21)- Schooner Woodwind

Aquarius ♒︎ (January 20 - February 18)- Chill Axes
People with their Sun in Aquarius, the sign that stands out from the rest of the zodiac, feel unique. As a result, they tend to be eccentric and enthusiastic in their pursuit of freedom or occasionally introverted and reserved because they are frightened to show their actual selves. They are both knowledgeable, deep thinkers who enjoy battling for noble causes.

In addition to axe throwing, you can stay and relax in their lounges with food and drinks.
