Tried an escape room for the first time this weekend

Poll of the Day

Poll of the Day » Tried an escape room for the first time this weekend
The theme was 'cabin in the woods' and the four of us were locked in a serial killer's cabin and we had to escape before he comes back in an hour and murders us . Unfortunately, we were 'killed'...but it was a lot of fun and the 'a-ha!' moments were satisfying. I think if we tried another one, we'd escape.
Delicious and vicious, while maliciously nutritious.
What's it like being dead?
Connection is somewhat spotty being six feet under and all, but I don't have to worry about my debt anymore so that's kinda cool.

I really want to try one. But I want to go with friends...

went to a Sherlock themed one a few months back. We escaped and saved the world from a bioweapon or something.

The one I went to couldn't be completed solo. At one point, we had to press these two red buttons that were in different rooms at the same time to get a painting to swing open. There were a few other team puzzles like that, too. But definitely get a team together and give it a shot!

I really want to go to one of those. There's one that opened in my town about a year ago; maybe I'll go with my siblings this summer.

If I was back home, my friends would probably go with me. Or I could find some friends who are interested. But here, it might be harder. I might know one guy who would like it. And could probably get a few others... But it would be a long shot...

There's one near me with a similar premise but it gets darker as time goes on to simulate the sun going down. I want to try that one.

Escape rooms are an insult to people who have escaped rooms actually meant to not be escapable

Its extremely offensive
If they drag you through the mud, it doesnt change whats in your blood
The puzzle aspect of it turned me off. Whe. I first heard of thrm I thought you had to literally find a way to break out like using a crowbar you find in the to pry a door open or having to tear the room apart to find a hidden set of keys. Ya know something more likely to happen in a real life situation where you need to escape.
Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!" Bartz-"with cheese biscuts AND mashed potatoes!"

Maybe they do have room like that, as well... Ive played video games with escape rooms, so the puzzle aspect is what draws me to them...

I dont mind the idea of puzzles but it would ruin immersion for me unless you gave me some kind of saw movie plot type thing to go off. (Just no self mutilation shit)

Like a reason for why the room is set up in that way, you mean?

But I thought people irl always get trapped in rooms where there's a note under the floorboard written in all lowercase letters except for five random uppercase letters that must be arranged to form a word that gets inputted into the combination lock. Totally practical!

Are you talking about the Zero Escape series? I love 999 and Virtue's Last Reward, but I haven't played the third one yet.

I actually preordered Zero Time Dilemma and haven't played it yet..

I have all three and have played all three. I love that series. When I first Heard they were finally making Zero Time Dilemma, I was super excited. And I got it. I know they sell them on steam. They had a sale not too long ago...

Could be good practice if/when you end up going lol

I don't know why I haven't finished the trilogy yet, but I'm gonna fix that soon. Maybe I'll get the PS4 version.

The one escape room I've done I've escaped, not sure if I'll do another. Silly "quit-while-you're-ahead" mentality heheh.
A plethora of DKC-related fanart to numb your mind:
