What is an Escape Room?
Escape rooms are physical adventures in which a group of players are locked into a room and must use clues and puzzles to solve for solutions that unlock additional clues. Solving these puzzles will eventually lead to a clue that will provide a key or combination allowing the door to be unlocked and the group to escape. The tricky part is there's a time limit, and the players only have 60 minutes to complete the challenge and break out. Each room is set in a fictional location that helps set the stage for the solution, and often the clues are in the room's decor and props. Anything can be important so pay attention to the details and keep your mind sharp because the puzzles are going to require mental stamina.
