- What is an escape room?
- Essentially, an escape room is a themed room filled with puzzles and clues. You and your team need to work together to solve them in order, so you can unlock the final door.
- The challenge is to solve all the puzzles within 60 minutes!
- There is a large difference in escape room quality from business to business. Each facility has their own vision of what an escape room should be.
- First generation rooms rely on padlocks, key-locks and word puzzles for teams to solve to escape. They are the least immersive and cheapest to create, with little or no technology.
- Next generation rooms, like the ones at Ichabods Escape, are the most immersive, They can custom-control the players entire experience. They use electronic master-show controllers to set the game’s atmosphere and help immerse you into the world created around you!
Next Generation At Ichabod’s
Our current zombie-apocalypse themed room, Protocol, is the perfect example of a next generation escape room.
It is 100% automated and computer-controlled, which means that once puzzles are solved correctly, the electronics automatically trigger something. A prop or door will then unlock, or you’ll be led to the next step in the game.
Most importantly though, there isn’t a single keylock, padlock or combination lock in the entire scenario, just like in real-life! Good-bye, clunky old-school locks! Hello, immersive FUN!
