Escape Rooms

Escape room supplies

In recent years, escape rooms have made a tremendous advance. This group activity flows from the gaming industry where video game players have to escape from specific spaces through hidden clues. The phenomenon that has grown in Europe from Hungary is now so popular that even in the Netherlands more than 800 escape rooms are already present.

How does such an escape room work? And why are there so many different ones?

Increasingly popular

Escape rooms have become increasingly popular as a getaway over the years. In addition, it is a game of skill and a training of your brain. For that reason, escape rooms are increasingly being used in education. Puzzles can help students to develop logical lines of thought.

Necessities

Escape rooms are full of puzzles. These puzzles must trigger an action when a certain action is completed. For example, the user must open doors to advance in the game. These doors are often locked with electromagnets and come off during a certain action. In addition, players must open different locks with keys and numbers that can be found throughout the room.

Monitoring

To guarantee the safety of the players, as the owner of an escape room you are also required to have a so-called "panic button". This button ensures that all locked doors open and players can leave the game at any time in an emergency. In addition, it is also common to equip the rooms with camera systems to provide players with hints if they get stuck on certain subjects.

Quality facilities

Escape rooms run on their facilities. When a certain electromagnet, electric strike, bolt lock or button does not work properly, the entire puzzle falls together. It is therefore essential to use quality products.
