THE ASSCLOWN AWARD


« on: June 20, 2019, 10:24:27 pm »

I love playing escape the room games. 

I want to ask you guys, since most of you are one or two generation ahead of me, did they have those when you were my age?  Is this relatively new?

I usually fail, since I play by myself, and the game are designed for more than one person.  But they are still so much fun.

The last one I attempted was called the drunk tank.  You wake up handcuffed in a jail cell.  You must find out the warden's deadly secret and escape from jail.

I don't do them, but I know a few people that enjoy them.

Are they called "Escape the room games"...or just "Escape Rooms?"  I do Escape rooms occasionally...

Escape rooms are super fun.  I've never heard of them until this decade.  Whether they existed at all when I was younger, I can't say, but certainly not with any mainstream popularity.

They existed to some extent before that, Mostly as a temporary set up in a hotel or workplace conference room, and done by teams of coworkers as a team building exercise.  They were very expensive and would come with a detailed analysis of the teams strengths and weaknesses and suggestions for improving team processes, it was typically a full day meeting, with time before and after discussions about team work, but the game was 60-90 minutes.

Then more recently some folks came up with the idea to drop the price, skip the analysis and just have friends play the game in the mall.
