Room Escape

Nowadays, it has become very fashionable. It consists on being lock in a room where you and your mates have to sort out some questions to get the key and finally run away for the room. One of the tests that you can find while you are working on is a  jigsaw puzzle, another one is finding hints that allow you to get out of the room. These activities test your physical or mental skills or both at the same time

Normally these games last between 60 and 90 minutes. It depends on the level of difficulty that you want to choose. You have to play in a small group between 2 to 6 people. It’s classified by different topics like mystery or adventure. The room escape was created in 2008 in Japan but it arrived in Europe in 2011 and it’s getting very popular among teenagers and young adults although it’s suitable for all ages.

In the last two years I have participated in 6 rooms escape. I strongly recommend having this experience with your family or your friends at least once. The ones I enjoyed most were “El Paciente” that took place in Málaga in summer 2017. The other one was called “The Gourmet” in Lloret de Mar at the end of 2017. If you haven’t had this experience I encourage you to try it and you can check how satisfied you feel when you get the key to leave the room on time. I can’t understand how it has become so popular.
