Source: Country Living
Escape rooms have exploded in popularity over the past few years - immersive experiences that encourage human connection where teams of friends, family, or coworkers need to solve puzzles, hints, and riddles to escape a series of rooms in under 1 hour. Imagine decoding a secret language in Ancient Egypt, finding your way out of an enchanted forest, discovering secret passages, solving a bank heist or a science lab mystery. With carefully crafted stories and themes, the experience is thrilling. And, if you're looking for a bright side to this past year, consider adding the evolution of 'virtual escape rooms' to your list - where this fun can be had right from your home or office.
Virtual escape rooms range from guide-led immersive experiences to simple self-guided text-based puzzles. They vary in complexity and style, and depending on the option you choose, can be suitable for schools, company staff, a group of friends, or families. Here are a few standout options we've found:
