+kallehaugerne Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I think Escape Rooms could be a great idea for a new category? The number of rooms are growing fast and has worldwide potential. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_room Quote Link to comment
+Benchmark Blasterz Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 These escape rooms look like they are fun games to participate in, but we wonder how viable a category they will be long term, and how prevalent they will be. Will this be a fad, or will these businesses come and go quickly, etc? I thought you were proposing a safe room category (like for hiding from storms or attacks), so thanks for the link to the Wikipedia article Quote Link to comment

Straight out of "The Big Bang Theory" and potentially equally comedic, I would guess. I can see them catching on as they appeal to the ego and the gamesmanship of most. Quote Link to comment

+stinger503 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'd be in for this! Almost every city seems to have one now. Quote Link to comment
+RakeInTheCache Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 These escape rooms look like they are fun games to participate in, but we wonder how viable a category they will be long term, They are popping up like mushrooms in the Paris Metropolitan Area. Did not see any in West Michigan over the holidays. I too wonder if this will eventually fizzle. Quote Link to comment
+T0SHEA Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) I too wonder if this will eventually fizzle. Now I hope it doesn't fizzle as we found one only 205 kilometres from our front door. I'm not going to say where, though. Edited February 26, 2017 by BK-Hunters Quote Link to comment
+fi67 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 My concern is permanence. This is really a hype at the moment, at least around here, but these locations are fast and easy to create and just as fast and easy to remove once the hype is over. Do we want a category full of former entertainment locations with no traces left in a few years? Quote Link to comment

Do we want a category full of former entertainment locations with no traces left in a few years? This is my exact issue. The ines I have seen are in shopping centers. In a year or 2 they could be a jewelry store or boutique of some sort. Quote Link to comment
+blakelylaw580 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I'm not into escape rooms, but I'm all for expanding categories based on new ideas, so I'v ejoined the group. Besides, I love the Big Bang episode devoted to an escape room. Quote Link to comment
+Smurffaaja Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Years have passed and Escape Rooms have shown they do still exist. Perhaps this could be re-consired to create new gategory? 2 Quote Link to comment
