Up until recently, the most widely accessible form of immersive entertainment was probably 4D cinema, a combination of 3D visuals and physical effects, which brought in the 4th dimension. However, as a result of modern 3D movies being forced into 4D format without the movies being made with 4D in mind, the immersive experience of 4D was never quite right. Hence, although it gained some popularity, it never became a sensational trend that took over the world. Well, the latest player in this arena is what is ‘escape games’, and it literally immerses you in a game.

Escape games involve a team of people being trapped in a themed room, an abandoned hospital, a prison cell, a secret room, a dungeon, and so on, from which you need to escape within a set time limit by looking for clues, solving puzzles, and completing challenges together. They are gaining worldwide popularity by the day because the experience they offer is truly engaging and stimulating. Moreover, being a social activity, people enjoy participating in these games with friends and family, creating memories and shared experiences. For gaming and puzzle enthusiasts, it is a dream come true. Imagine actually being inside the world of ‘Sherlock Holmes’ or ‘Prison Break’. With escape games, you can actually be in such worlds. They allow you to skip the ‘virtual’ and move straight on to reality.

For something different but memorable to do this holiday season, instead of escaping to some place where not everyone may have a good time, why not gather the family and try escaping from a room together. Not only will the children have fun but the adults will too because solving puzzles and the thrill of unlocking achievements and managing to escape is fun at any age.
