The Strange Allure of Escape Rooms

Unity Escape Rooms

The clock is ticking faster and faster, and with each ping of your watch, your heart rate rises a little more. You and your comrades have awoken to discover you are handcuffed to the wall of an abandoned shack. You breathe in and out in an attempt to swaddle your nervous system and concentrate on the task at hand – solving a numeric puzzle. This obstacle is essential in your journey towards freedom, and is critical to escaping the impending zombie hoard outside. Your friend peers over your shoulder and offers a clue that just might save the game. You expel a sigh of relief which is quickly clipped by the realization that the escape room has just begun. 

For a generation nurtured by hair-raising video games and privy to “choose your own adventure” novels, Escape rooms offer a similar adrenaline-releasing, nail-biting experience. Not far off from the 2001-debuting reality show The Amazing Race, these smaller scale puzzles microdose the excitement of a thrilling global adventure. Escape rooms especially appeal to the 20 and 30 somethings who are looking for a unique activity for a special event or a friend’s night out. 

How It Works

Unity Escape Rooms offers a real-life adventure, where players are “locked” in a room and must complete various tasks in order to escape. In this race against the clock, players must work together, find clues, and solve puzzles to locate the key to escape the room. A Unity Escape Room experience promotes teamwork, problem-solving, and heightened observation. Well beyond the monotony of watching a movie or playing video games, here you find yourself actually immersed in the adventure.
