ESCAPE ROOM
What is an escape room?
An escape room, also known as escape game or
puzzle room, is a game in which a team of players discover
clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order
to accomplish a specific goal in a limited amount of time. The goal is
often to escape from the site of the game. Most escape games are
cooperative but competitive variants exist.
Escape rooms test the
problem-solving,
lateral thinking ("thinking outside the box"), and
teamwork skills
of participants by providing a variety of puzzles and challenges that
unlock access to new items or areas in the game when solved. Escape room
puzzles include word, number, and symbol puzzles such as
substitution cyphers, riddles, crosswords, Sudoku, word search, and
mathematics; puzzles involving physical objects such as jigsaw
puzzles, matchstick puzzles, and chess; and physical activity such as
searching for a hidden physical object, assembling an object, navigating
mazes, or undoing a rope knot.
