I have been to like 6 of them so far this year. I absolutely love these games. The sheer excitement i get from figuring out puzzles and clues and working with strangers and friends or family. I love to see how groups of people work together. How i emerge as well with strangers. Of course, the best thing is escaping the room. It gives you such a sense of accomplishment! It is just amazing how people react when locked in a room together, not knowing everyone, and trying to get out... lol. Great times. I would definitely recommend trying this at least once, if you never have.

What happens to you if you don't escape? Does your face go on a wall of shame? Or do they get to keep your soul?;;D

THey look like a lot of fun. I think these murder games look fun too. The ones where you go somewhere as a character and you have to be the character throughout the evening to figure out the murderer. Everyone I know are a bunch of deadbeat sticks in the mud. Nobody would want to play.

Never heard of the "Murder Mystery" games. We must not have that available around us. Sounds neat though!

Hope you find some adventurous, courageous friends to go with one day. it is well worth it. Very good for your mind!

The last one i went to, was so incredibly hard. We only got halfway through it. Granted it was for 12-14 plyaers and we only had like 8 of us... plus all of us were family. And family argues sometimes lol. They were really high tech too. They even had tv with reports of the zombie apocolypse and every so often there would be an emergency broadcast that would give us a lil hint of something we would get stuck on. Our room was called "Zombie Roadhouse".. lol. I remember one puzzle open a window on the door of outside our room right when i was putting key in and a zombie screamed through the window. Talk about having to go to the bathroom after that one... lol

Why have I never heard of this before!!! And this is coming from a guy who played Edward 40 Hands at a bachelor party about two years ago ... and won! Yes I did! Sweet revenge, as earlier I had been destroyed at laser tag. Apparently a large percentage of me is bladder.

Edward 40 hands: Look away. I'm hideous!

I'm fascinated! I'm gonna research this like mad. Murder Mystery weekends. They are predominately for the bored idle rich like GNTLGNT. They hire actors, who flounch around bellowing, "Oh isn't the Captain charming!" At one another -- then a guy supposedly gets whacked with a cocktail shaker. And he lays there wondering where his life went wrong, while a bunch of dinner theater rejects in 1930's ball gowns & pith helmets scream at each other and/or play dead or whatever. Escape Room sounds better!

Oh no! They sound like fun! Especially if it's a private dinner party, I don't think they hire actors to come in. I think it's all about you and your friends.

:heheh:

A few years back I was invited to one of these Murder Mystery Dinner Parties but declined after learning some acting was involved. Also, she needed an RSVP and I was noncommittal. It sounds like fun but this particular group of people were strangers. I only knew a few.

On the subject of Escape Rooms, yes, one opened in Birmingham about ten years ago. I met the owners through my job at the library.
