What is an escape room?
Escape rooms are a growing entertainment trend offering a thrilling experience. It is a real life escape adventure!
You and your friends are “locked” in a room. Your goal is to escape the room by solving puzzles and hunting for keys & codes throughout the room to open combination & key locks and ultimately the exit door. You must hurry! Your group has a 60 minute time limit - then you fail. Sounds like the scene of a suspense thriller movie?! Yep….and you are the real character.
The best escape rooms include creative & unique puzzles, quality room props and immersive themes. Escape rooms are also called live escape, escape games, puzzle room, riddle room, breakout, exit games, get-out games, or adventure rooms. Regardless of the name, these rooms provide a heart racing & mind bending “escape” from your regular routine and cell phone.
