Dinner and a movie is a classic date night—but it can get old, fast. Sometimes you need to think outside the box to plan a special night with your partner. One way to mix it up is to have an escape room date!
An escape room is a confined space that you are “locked” in. You are then given a clue that takes you through many intricate and complex puzzles you get to solve—usually within an hour—which leads you to finding a key to your escape. Escape rooms are a new and exciting way to spend time—plus it’s a great way to bond with your significant other and have some fun doing something different.
When you choose an escape room for your date, many positive aspects come with it like the following:
Now that you know the benefits of an escape room date, here are five tips on taking your date to the next level:
If you both love horror, find a scary action-based escape room. Or maybe you’re both tech-savvy and want something cyber-related—imagine you’re racing against a crazy hacker who is framing you for his crimes!
Some escape rooms are easier than others, so choose one that matches your level of expertise. If it’s your first time, maybe you want a starter room—but if you love puzzles, find a challenging one!
Make sure to grab dinner before your escape room date. That way, you can focus on the puzzles and clues without being distracted. A full tummy can make a huge difference in your thinking skills.
Research different escape room companies and find out what they offer in terms of puzzles, props, and overall atmosphere. Read up on customer reviews to make sure you have a great escape room date so you don’t leave with a bad taste in your mouth.
Don’t take it too seriously! It’s not always possible to finish an escape room within the hour time limit, but it’s the experience that counts.
