Do you hold your own regularly scheduled game night with likeminded pals? Maybe you are lucky enough to gather weekly or monthly, or perhaps you only get the chance whenever the planets align across your busy schedules. No matter how often it happens, why does game night always have to revolve around gathering around a table? Why not take your group on an interactive side quest at an escape room instead?! We’ve listed some reasons below of why we think an escape room makes an awesome and engaging game-night activity.
Join us on your next game night
Great For All Group Sizes
Escape rooms are the ideal form of entertainment for a varied group. At The Escape Effect we cater for all ages, skill levels, and we are 100% ADA accessible. Meaning that everyone that usually comes to your game night, will be able to come enjoy a game with us here, too. Our escape rooms are different sizes, with each suitable for a different amount of players, and if you need a recommendation or a special accommodation, our hosts will be happy to help.
If your group usually plays tabletop roleplaying games together, after your escape room experience you can even pick up our brand-new Game Master’s Guide and sharp-edge Resin Dice Set, to continue your adventure at home with your party.
Strengthens Friendships
People love to play board games and card games as a way to build bonds with their nearest and dearest. As you’re playing you’ll laugh and smile around the table together, it’s a great way to relax and de-stress. Taking part in an escape room is similar, except you’ll experience that camaraderie and connection as you’re being plunged into a large-scale board game jumanji-style, in an immersive setting of your choosing.
Escape rooms are competitive, yet cooperative, and will exercise your mind as well as your communication skills! For the ultimate test of friendship, we recommend embarking on our epic quest through medieval times, A Knight To Escape. Teamwork is crucial, and your success depends on it!
Utilizes Everyone’s Skills
If you already enjoy game night, your friendship group likely relishes in critical and lateral thinking. But between you all, you’ll probably have different skills, strengths, and weaknesses when it comes to playing games and puzzle-solving. An escape room is a great place to combine all those qualities, and work together as one incredible and unstoppable unit! Maybe one of you is good with numbers, while another has impeccable attention to detail, or an excellent memory. You’ll be able to join forces and play off of each other’s talents.
In our escape rooms, we have brain-boosting challenges which are designed to encompass a wide range of puzzle dynamics and game-playing styles, so there truly is something for everyone, with no-one on the team being left on the sidelines.
Challenging Yet Satisfying
Escape rooms are just the right amount of challenge. One that get’s your brain going, but with each puzzle paced just right, to enable you feel like you are progressing with a healthy flow through the game. We want your experience to be fun, not frustrating, and for you to have as many of those little wins and ‘a-ha’ moments as possible.
You’ll be completing task after task, like a puzzle-solving superhero. It’ll hit all the right notes of a social and fun experience, like you’ll have when playing a board game with friends, but with an added dopamine rush as you race against the clock to escape!
Celebrate Together
There is nothing better than the incredible feeling of inputting that final code just before the timer runs out, and it’s even more awesome when you get to share that experience with your closest friends. We guarantee you’ll be high-fiving, hugging, and fist-bumping, as you cheer with elation upon exiting the room.
This exhilarating and action-packed adventure is unlike anything you’ll have just sitting around a table playing a board game. Don’t get us wrong, we love doing that too, but an escape room makes an amazing alternative that’ll make you feel like you levelled up your game night!
