Reasons Why You Should Try Out Room Escape Games

Room escape games are quite popular. If you’ve ever watched the British show, The Crystal Maze, then you have a pretty good idea of what a room escape game is. Room Escape Games London offers, for example, feature several room escape games that they provide their clients with, as well as two new virtual reality-based room escape games that utilise the latest VR technology to create the most realistic next generation room escape environment that was previously only possible in the realm of video games.

For those who haven’t tried room escape games: the objective of the game is to solve a set of puzzles within a time limit to escape the room, hence the name “room escape”. If a person fails to solve the puzzles, he or she fails the game. If the game consists of several room escape games, there might be penalties, depending on the game. Different room escape games have various problems and a set of rules that you have to abide by or else be disqualified.

Room escape games were only popularised in the west in the 2010s, despite the fact that the genre has existed since the 1980s in popular TV contest shows, due to the lack of commercial presence that they enjoy now.
