An escape room is a physical adventure game in which players are locked in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles and escape the room within a set time limit.
Escape room puzzles can vary greatly in difficulty and theme, but some popular puzzles include finding and decoding clues, solving riddles, piece together a series of events, and using objects in the room to solve puzzles.
Clues can be hidden in plain sight or cleverly disguised, and may require some lateral thinking to decode. Riddles can take the form of word puzzles, number puzzles, or logic puzzles, and often require players to think outside the box to find the solution.
Putting together a series of events can be tricky, especially when the events are out of order or do not seem to fit together at first. This type of puzzle often requires players to use the process of elimination to figure out what happened.
Finally, using objects in the room to solve puzzles is a classic escape room challenge. This can involve anything from using a key to open a lock, to using a magnifying glass to start a fire. Whatever the object, players will need to use their creativity to figure out how to use it to solve the puzzle.
