REAL LIFE IMITATES COMPUTER GAMES: THE ESCAPE ROOMS

by Hazed

You’re locked in an underground chamber. There are various random objects scattered around the room. You must examine the objects and decipher the clues they present, to solve the puzzles in order to escape from the room. Failure means certain death.

Sounds familiar? It’s just what you do in many multi-player games (although the puzzles in our games tend to keep you out of places rather than trapping you in them). However, this particular scenario isn’t online at all – it’s a real life experience.

Real-life escape rooms are becoming very popular, and I’ve just read a report of one in London called Escape Rooms. It sounds great fun! You can read about it at the source link below.

If you don’t live in London then just google for similar experiences in your city – there’s one called Escape the Room in New York, for example.
