what is escape room

An escape room, also known as an escape game, puzzle room, exit game, or riddle room, is an immersive adventure game where a group of players work together to discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms within a limited amount of time. The main goal is often to escape from the site of the game, but it can also involve achieving a specific objective within the given time frame. The game typically lasts for about 60 minutes, during which the players must find hidden clues, solve puzzles, and unlock locks to progress through the room and ultimately escape. Escape rooms have become popular in North America, Europe, and East Asia since the 2010s, and they are often set in a variety of fictional locations such as prison cells, dungeons, and space stations. The game is designed to encourage teamwork and problem-solving skills, making it an engaging and challenging experience for friends, families, or corporate groups.
