WHAT’S ALL THE HYPE ABOUT?
Just in case you forgot, here is a quick reminder: escape games are about having fun and taking on intellectual challenges together with friends, family, or coworkers. Typically, they are set in rooms and walkways where various objects contain clues pointing to the way out or contraptions unlocking access to it, and where the participants must find and use these objects to get out of the game zone within a set amount of time.
Best escape rooms usually feature an engaging storyline, a themed interior design, a brief intro before the main action and an outro after it, all these components adding up to create an awesome participatory experience. No wonder they are hugely popular all over the world – every year, more and more people across the planet are asking themselves the same question: "is there a good
escape room near me?"
WHERE THEY COME FROM
Fun fact: many popular video game concepts started out as table games or physical toys, but toward the end of the 20th century the reverse trend was already on the rise: bringing the games back from the electronic format to reality as physical acts. Around the same time, fantasy RPGs met with the idea of participatory performance, resulting in wider popularity of role-playing adventure parties and interactive theater events. Among the many subgenres of this new form of entertainment were escape-the-room puzzle quests, descendants of the eponymous video games.
