Have you ever been to an Escape Room? For those who haven’t heard of what an Escape Room is – it’s basically a kind of game that takes place in a room where you have to solve a bunch of clues, tasks and puzzles to progress and accomplish the goal set for you before making your way out. The game usually takes place with a group and centres that conduct such games based on different themes are known as Escape Rooms.
Earlier this month the boys and I were invited for a day of fun and games at Breakout Escape Room here in Bangalore’s Koramangala suburb. We got to mingle around with other mom bloggers and their children, play some fun ice breakers and then of course be part of an Escape Room game ourselves.
This centre offers a wide variety of Escape Room experiences like solving a murder mystery, rescuing a young kidnapped child, conducting a bank robbery, trying to breakout after being trapped while investigating a story and some others. There is even an Escape Room game for children called ‘Enchanted Forest’ which Adhyant and Nirbhay got to experience. In their game they had to hunt for treasures in a forest in order to save the famine hit people of a fictional Kingdom. It was a surreal and unique experience for the both of them.
I had the chance to participate in a game called ‘Curse of the Pharaoh’ where we pretended to be a group of archeologists that had to hunt for artifacts in Egypt, discover a secret tomb, restore the reputation of a famous archaeologist and uncurse the Pharaoh before the place is destroyed. It was an adventure and I had a serious adrenaline rush and thrill trying to solve the mystery.
The games at Breakout Escape Room are best suited to experience with a small group and all challenges have a time limit of one hour to complete. It’s a fun filled activity for both kids, teens and adults so do check out details on www.breakout.in and make your way to Breakout Escape Room.
