Escape Room

Facts, tips and ideas about Escape Room — and how to find people for it.

Did you know?

  • After 60 minutes in an escape room you know who stays calm and who gets loud. That tells you more than a dinner.

  • The first modern escape room was Takao Kato's “Real Escape Game” in Kyoto in 2007 — inspired by Japanese online puzzle games, played in a real bar with real keys. The pop-up event became a global genre.

Tip

  • Split up immediately and communicate loudly. Silence costs time.

  • Gather everything on one table — right away. Most rooms are lost because a team finds four clues in four corners and nobody knows what the others already have.

Inspiration

  • Solving puzzles together reveals who you are. And who your friends are.

A small challenge

  • An escape room, three or four of you. The clock is beside the point; the chaos is the fun.
