This week, I was able to go to an escape room with my friends. Escape rooms are a new trend in Korea which started in 2014. It involves trapping you and your friends in a room and having puzzles and quizzes to find a way out of the room. Rather than trivia questions, the puzzles are more about using complex thinking and so everyone will be able to enjoy the games without any prior knowledge of facts. There is also a time limit to try to escape, and once time runs out, it basically means that you failed to escape from the room. Also, there are different types of escape rooms and you can even choose the difficulty level based on the locations you go to. For our escape room, the difficulty level was 4 out of 5 and it was based inside a history museum.
After having 9 minutes and 56 seconds left on the timer for us to escape, we were able to successfully make it out of the room. It was a lot of fun and me and my friends agreed to try and finish the other escape rooms as well. I really recommend going to an escape room at least once with friends as it was a very new and interesting experience that I never had before. Also, being able to solve all the puzzles and make it out before the timer gave me a feeling of relief and accomplishment since I did make it out and did not waste the money for going to this place.
