An escape room is a physical adventure game in which players are locked in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles and escape within a set time limit. The games are physical versions of “escape the room” or "breakout" video games. Games are set in a variety of fictional locations, such as prison cells, dungeons, and space stations, and are popular as team-building exercises.
