What Is National Escape Room Day?

On October 1st, 2016, a Dutch group of escape room enthusiasts known as Escape Room Nederland established the first Escape Room Day. With more and more escape rooms popping up around the world, this holiday was recognized to celebrate the community they had created.

Since then all of the 50,000+ escape rooms across the globe have commemorated this day with special events, deals, and anything to welcome more people to the wonder of a puzzle-packed room.
