3 reasons why you just have to love escape games

Posted on by admin

Many of our customers who are playing an Escape Game for the first time say: This is the game from “The Big Bang Theory”. In fact, Escape Games are now very popular on almost every continent in the world and are finding more and more followers in Germany. Meanwhile there are 19 providers in Berlin, 13 in Hamburg, 9 in Frankfurt and 8 in Munich. Where does this rapid growth come from and why can so many players get excited about these puzzle games? This article gives 3 attempts to explain.

1) Solving Escape Rooms makes you happy

Anyone who has ever tried an escape game knows: solving difficult tasks makes for a very special feeling. After every success new things are discovered, e.g. single objects or even whole rooms which were hidden before. Every success gives up new tasks to solve again and again. You get the feeling that it goes ahead and the story, which seemed complex and unsolvable at the beginning, dissolves more and more. Like a big puzzle, which you put together piece by piece. You get the feeling that you’re evolving.
So Escape Games can be a great Dopanim booster, with absolute addiction factor. Note: This only works, of course, if you don’t get too dogged with the thing and you puzzle as a team together and not each for himself. Where we would already be at point two….

2) Escape Games promote team spirit and creativity

What is more fun than overcoming a difficult problem? Exactly: As a team to overcome a difficult problem together.
In almost every Escape Game there are elements which require the cooperation of the players. You don’t become world champion as a genius, but as a team. Every team success further welds the group together, which is why Escape Games are becoming more and more popular with companies.
In addition: Escape Games are in principle solvable for everyone. They don’t require any special skills, but just a little skill, creativity and brain fat. And most importantly, don’t keep your good ideas to yourself, share them with your team.

3) Escape Games turn a story into a real experience

An Escape Game is like a movie or a book, only that it doesn’t just take place on a screen or in your own head, but in reality. It’s like a computer game in which every object can be touched and everything you see really exists. Mistakes are punished, success brings you further. So the whole story is not only experienced passively as a spectator, but actively as the main actor.

Fears and insecurities among newcomers in Escape Game

This blog entry is for all those who haven’t yet had the chance to try out an Escape Room. The game may at first seem intimidating to some – the idea of being locked in a room with other people and not knowing exactly how it all works in detail! Or you have to take part in a teambuilding activity and are unsure whether your fear of your colleagues makes you look stupid. Of course we understand that!

That’s why we want to pick up on your potential fears and insecurities in this blog entry, so you can feel a little safer the first time you visit our PlanB Escape Rooms.
The closed room (claustrophobia)

If you’re reading this blog, you should be familiar with the basic concept of Escape Rooms – you know that you’ll be searching for clues and hints with a team in a closed room to escape the room at the end. “Closed space” doesn’t mean “small space” – our rooms have an average size of X m2 – which should also take away some of the initial insecurity of the claustrophobic among you. And since you’ve already made it to this page, you already seem to have a general interest in the concept of the Escape Game!
About movement and excitement

You certainly don’t have to be a top athlete to play in our rooms. While you should be prepared to move within the Escape Room and coordinate with your team to find the necessary clues, they are always there, even without much acrobatics. More importantly, you need to use your brains and work in harmony with your team. Order fanatics should be prepared for a certain amount of disorder in all this, as our rooms are designed to create a certain tension and to make it an exciting and tricky puzzle.
Screaming and laughter

You should definitely prepare yourself for a playful activity that can sometimes get louder – especially with family or friends. Laughter and shouting alternate regularly, as our puzzles of excitement and frustration are always a tightrope act. But always try not to shout at your fellow players directly, even if there are moments of frustration. Always be aware that you are part of this adventure together!
Communication and Attention

Two of the basic aspects of Escape Game are efficient communication and a high level of attention. Without these two elements, you could also play the Escape Game alone on the computer. Always keep in mind that some players are more communicative than others and try to respond to your adventure in a positive and constructive way.
Differences of opinion

Whether you like it or not, not everyone on your team will think the same thing about the duration of the game as you do. There may be differences of opinion during the 60 minutes (between parents and children, colleagues or friends). Don’t regard this as negative. Because 12 eyes see now times more than 2 and can contribute at the end only together to the successful solution of the mystery!
Confusion and anxiety

When you enter the game rooms, everything can seem confusing and overwhelming at first. Don’t worry – there’s no need to panic! Proceed step by step. Start by searching for clues and combining them! And don’t forget not to take the whole thing ZU seriously – the whole thing is a game and you should have fun with your adventure!
Failures and disappointment

You shouldn’t be led astray by small failures or one-way streets and shouldn’t hang your head! If the first attempts at a solution don’t bring you to your goal, try again. And don’t forget, you are working in the team and can always count on your fellow players. If you ever have the feeling that you are stuck in a dead end – our game leader is always there for you and can guide you to the right track with hints.
Success and ecstasy

While there may be moments of disappointment during the game, the moments of success far outweigh it. Whether your team manages to escape the room or not. The impressive feeling of happiness you’ll feel when you discover a clue or solve one of the puzzles will quickly make you forget the minor setbacks!
Pride

So whether you manage to solve all the puzzles in the time allotted or not, you can be proud of yourself after the game!

Because you’ve tried something new and exciting and given it your best! And that’s what we think is most important!

In the hope that this entry could take some of your worries away, we are looking forward to welcoming you soon!
