What is an escape room? Escape rooms were originally games on a computer or an app, however in 2007 Scrap Entertainment opened up the very first live escape room in Japan. This went over so well that in 2012 Scrap Entertainment decided to try this new game out in the United States. (Hagerty, 2017)

An escape room game is a live action game where groups of people are locked in a room together and they have to solve clues and puzzles in order to make their way out of the room in a set period of time. These rooms are usually themed and have a story line that goes along with the theme. You may think that this may be too hard for you, or that there is no way for your group to escape. This is where clues come in. Most escape rooms have some sort of clue delivery system where the game master can send you clues to help you out if you are stuck.

According to Hagerty (2017), there are "roughly 2,800 escape rooms worldwide" so you should be able to find a game nearby. These games are gaining in popularity, so go online today and check one out. This may just be your next addiction.
