Travel guide
Escape rooms are taking Switzerland by storm. They are mainly located in the country's larger cities. But what exactly is an Escape Room about?
Let's find out. Because it's all about captivating puzzles and difficult codes for thinkers and clever adventurers. Imagine you are in a mysterious room together with your colleagues, family or friends. Suddenly the door closes behind you and the clock ticks..
From now on, you have to solve all the puzzles to escape from the room. Team spirit, creativity, powers of deduction and close communication are required. Unusual paths must be taken, hidden clues and objects must be found to reveal the secret of the room in the end
Just a short moment and you'll realize that a number of team skills are needed to solve the tasks
- Basic principle: A group of up to 6 players finds itself in a locked room and is challenged to find the escape route
- Time limit: You have to find the exit within (usually) 60 minutes. All players have to step up and share tasks. Teamwork is required.
How does an Escape Room work?
Together with your team, you will be locked in a room. The goal is to solve a series of puzzles to get out as quickly as possible. Usually, you have 60 minutes to accomplish this.
The main task is to unlock the door. However, there are intermediate goals that need to be achieved first. Perhaps you need to open a locked cabinet where a key is hidden. Or you might find clues on how to access the cabinet. The cabinet itself may have hidden compartments, or a letter could provide encrypted information for a number combination.
The group will continuously encounter both correct and misleading clues. The key terms to reach your goal are: speed, flexibility, agility, imagination, and a creative "out-of-the-box" thinking.
Who is an Escape Room suitable for?
Escape Rooms are ideal for groups. Whether it's a corporate event, a birthday, a bachelor party, or a group of friends. Depending on the complexity and understanding, the activities can also be suitable for families with children. The feeling of having solved a challenging task together strengthens the bond for both families and teams.
What themes and categories are there in an Escape Room?
The mysterious room is not limited to just one space. Instead, there are different rooms, landscapes, cities, and combinations thereof, which each team can interact with individually. The challenges vary widely and fall into the following categories:
- Abstract
- Adventure
- Crime
- Fantasy
- History
- Horror
- Science Fiction
- Virtual Reality
- for Children
How difficult is an Escape Room?
Escape Rooms are generally designed for all audiences. You can even take on difficult rooms as a beginner. However, be aware that in this case, you will likely need many hints. You might not manage to escape the room within the time available. This can still be an experience, but it may dampen the fun a little if you can't complete the tasks.
For reference, most Escape Rooms provide a difficulty rating from 1 to 5 or 10. In some Escape Rooms, this rating is based on the success rate: How many groups make it out of the room? The criteria vary based on the theme. Generally, however, Escape Rooms are designed for adults.
- Very Easy: Planning, building, solving puzzles, or acting as a detective in the Escape Room. In well-lit and spacious rooms, fun is the top priority. Perfect for kids.
- Easy Puzzles: Suitable for all beginners, newcomers, and school children.
- Medium Difficulty Escape Room: Suitable for teenagers and older. Certain game mechanics are developed through logical reasoning.
- Difficult Room: Individual pieces of information that take a lot of time—logic puzzles with many steps. Suitable for adult players with some experience.
- Hardest Room: Low escape rate. The “very hard” level is designed for experienced gamers who regularly participate in Escape Rooms.
