ESCAPE ROOMS
THE CLOCK IS TICKING, and you’re running out of time to break free of the room you’re trapped in. No, this isn’t a nightmare — it’s a game! Escape rooms are immersive, interactive experiences that are part scavenger hunt, part brainteaser, and they’re everywhere (even at family resorts). How they work: In a group of two to 10 players, you’re locked in an area designed to make you feel like a reallife adventure hero who has an hour to find clues and solve a series of puzzles. Conquer them all, and you’re out (yes, they still open the door if you don’t). The room is usually themed to create a story (e.g., you are spies and hold the fate of the world in your hands), and your success hinges on how well you and your fellow escapees communicate and collaborate, says Lisa Spira, cofounder of the review site roomescapeartist.com. But don’t worry if you get stumped — most rooms offer hints to help you. —Lizz Schumer
