So, what is an escape room, and how does one play? It’s basically a game where you ditch the computer and return to reality, sort of. A bunch of people, sometimes friends, sometimes strangers, get locked up together, and then use clues to free themselves within a certain amount of time. If you are an online gamer, and even if you aren’t, it’s time to change things up, and this is an awesome way to do just that!

It’s time to stop playing a character in a video game and become the character in the live action challenge.

To become an local escape room expert you need to know how to play. Here’s a quick checklist of the main do’s and don’ts:
