One of the most popular activities in recent years is escape rooms. There are over 2000 escape rooms in the United States, and the number is only growing. Texas, California, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania are among the states with the most escape rooms. With so many escape rooms to choose from, how do you choose the right one to ensure you have the most fun?<\/p>\n

Check out our list below of the five top aspects that make a great escape room.<\/p>\n

1. A Variety of Adventures to Choose From<\/h2>\n\"\"\u00a0 \"\"\u00a0 \"\"\u00a0 \"\"\n

A great escape room offers a variety of experiences to choose from. From recovering Blackbeard\u2019s lost treasure<\/a> to solving a murder mystery, there should be plenty of exciting adventures to choose from. Not only should there be variety in your choice of game, but there should also be varied difficulties. Some escape rooms are more difficult than others, so you should be able to select one based on what your group is looking for and their skillset. Additionally, each room will include different puzzles and codes so you can return and try a different adventure next time!<\/p>\n

2. Fun Environment<\/h2>\n

While you could play a board game at home, escape rooms offer a fun, interactive experience! You will be actively engaged in solving a mystery under a time crunch with red herrings and obstacles thrown in your way. Not only are they an interesting challenge, but the room often follows the theme of the game you are playing with decor and sounds.<\/p>\n

3. Inspire Teamwork<\/h2>\n\"\"\n

The overall goal of an escape room, besides the fun, is to foster teamwork. See if your escape room offers opportunities for birthday parties or corporate events. Escape Room Houston offers packages for private corporate events, birthday parties, bachelor parties, and much more. We are able to accommodate larger groups than any other escape room in Houston!<\/p>\n

4. Safety<\/h2>\n

The fun of an escape room is being \u201clocked\u201d in a room until you solve a mystery. However, the door to the room should remain unlocked in the case of an emergency. Additionally, if you have valuables, the escape room should offer a secure area<\/a> to keep these items to not distract you from the game.<\/p>\n

5. Opportunities to Play at Home<\/h2>\n\"\"\n

Some escape rooms offer games that you can play at home<\/a> with just a computer and internet connection. While these games don\u2019t have the added fun of being in a themed room, these offer the flexibility to solve mysteries with family or with work colleagues no matter where you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
