Christenson and the "How I Met Your Mother" star attended the popular convention for escape room enthusiasts and creators on Saturday and Sunday, Aug 21-22. Harris is an outspoken fan of puzzle games. He even created his own table-top escape room game called Box One.

"I love escape rooms," the Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor said during an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in 2020. "Dude, I can't get enough of them, and it's one of the things that I am so bummed about all of this pandemic nonsense is you can't go to escape rooms. They're the best."
