Escape Rooms Taking the World by Storm People are always looking for new ways to be entertained. We live in a world of virtual reality and computer games with technology constantly evolving.

Today, there are literally hundreds of these puzzles solving and interactive rooms across the country from the south of Devon all the way to Glasgow. In the United Kingdom alone, there are just over one thousand escape rooms in 2018. This comprised of four hundred venues. As of 2019, this number had already increased to one thousand five hundred escape rooms UK. This number has increased exponentially in 2023 and it's very difficult to pinpoint exactly how many escape rooms there are. The number of escape rooms have increased by forty two percent in the past couple of years, showing that people have a desire for this type of interactive and fun entertainment. At the same time, the escape room industry is booming in the United States. As of 2019, the United States was home to just over two thousand escape rooms, fifty more rooms than the previous year, showing how the industry is booming and the demand for this type of entertainment. In addition to this, there is even an Escape Room World Championships, that now takes place. This is a sign at how popular this type of entertainment really is. The Escape Room World Championships were held in Shoreditch, in the United Kingdom. Twenty-three countries took part. Another sign of the growth in demand for escape rooms is that there are even films about them, also released in 2019 with a sequel that was released in 2020. One of the many reasons why these real-life interactive games are increasing in demand is that there are a wide range of story lines you can choose from. From being locked in a prison cell to making your way through a haunted hospital. Most of the games allow up to four players and take around one hour to complete. The great thing is they are good fun, encourage team work and logical thinking, whether you escape the room or not. The escape rooms available cater to people aged from twelve years and above, while the horror rooms limit their participants to those over the age of sixteen.

There are multi-roomed games now on offer, all offering their own unique story lines that immerse the participants and get them to work together.
