What is
an escape room?

Escape room is an entertainment activity requiring teamwork, in which players are tasked with solving all the riddles, puzzles, and tasks encountered in a room within a certain time limit. Originally, the goal of escape rooms was simply to escape, but now it's more often about uncovering the mystery and learning the full story of a room.

Each escape room is a separate, immersive story. Players can choose from a variety of thematic categories - horror, thriller, adventure, fantasy, children's and many other rooms. Frequent inspirations of escape room creators are movies and series, but also mythologies and beliefs, books, or computer games. Thanks to this diversity, everyone is able to find something for themselves.
