No, just no. My God.

Actually, it’s worse than what it sounds like.

“A role player will be in the room in a chair secured with chains and fastened with combination or key locks,” she said. “Teams must answer SHARP related questions to unlock their teammate and escape the room.”

The crux of it is that this chained-down role player is meant to be a survivor needing resources ― not a battle buddy in danger of being assaulted.

“The description is meant to be a play on words,” Savage said. “The role player represents a sexual assault victim and the chains represent obstacles the victim may face. The idea is that a victim doesn’t have to be alone while going through the process.”

For example, soldiers might have to come up with the phone number to report an assault, or be tested on their knowledge of the particulars of restricted versus unrestricted reporting.

Surely they could have come up with a better metaphor for breaking free of sexual assault.

Imagine being at the table and hearing: “Hey guys, I’ve got an awesome idea!” followed by this.

Sigh…
