What is an Escape Room?

What is an escape room? We get asked that question a lot. 

The straight answer is it’s a live-action game where a group of players has to solve puzzles and clues in a certain amount of time to make it out of the playing area. 

But really, an escape room experience is so much more. 

The best escape rooms are a fun challenge that will test your ability to handle pressure. You step into another world where there are a lot of unknowns, a crazy amount of visual stimuli and a clock that’s ticking down. 

Needless to say, even the biggest skeptic gets a rush once that door closes behind them. Then it’s game on, and everyone is in it to win it. 

One thing that some people find surprising is how an escape room gets the creative juices flowing. It’s a situation that has you thinking way outside the box. The amazing set designs alone are enough to inspire you to take on a creative side project you’ve been planning to do forever. Trust us, you’ll feel like your creative thinking skills have gone up a notch.

Another aspect of escape rooms that’s surprising is that your communication skills are improved. At Extreme Escape, we’ve been named the #1 corporate team building experience in San Antonio because once a group of coworkers makes it out of one of our escape rooms they know a whole lot more about each other and how to effectively communicate. Without good communication among the players, there’s no way to escape the room in time. 

In short - an escape room isn’t your everyday game or standard entertainment. It’s an experience that will have you firing on all cylinders and ready to play again as soon as you escape.
