WHAT IS AN ESCAPE ROOM?
• AN ESCAPE ROOM, ALSO KNOWN AS A "PUZZLE ROOM", IS TYPICALLY A PHYSICAL ADVENTURE GAME IN
WHICH PLAYERS SOLVE A SERIES OF PUZZLES AND RIDDLES USING CLUES, HINTS AND STRATEGY TO
COMPLETE THE OBJECTIVES AT HAND. PLAYERS ARE GIVEN A SET TIME LIMIT TO UNVEIL THE SECRET PLOT
WHICH IS HIDDEN WITHIN THE ROOMS. ESCAPE ROOMS ARE INSPIRED BY "ESCAPE-THE-ROOM"–STYLE
VIDEO GAMES. GAMES ARE SET IN A VARIETY OF FICTIONAL LOCATIONS, SUCH AS PRISON CELLS,
DUNGEONS AND SPACE STATIONS, AND USUALLY THE VARIOUS PUZZLES AND RIDDLES THEMSELVES
FOLLOW THE THEME OF THE ROOM.
