Top 5 Escape Rooms in London
Published on: 11/01/20
Escape Rooms have exploded in popularity over the last few years, with most towns and cities offering live action puzzle games to eager participants. The great thing about escape rooms is the seemingly limitless potential for themes: from bank heists to witches and wizards to science experiments gone wrong, game makers can let their imaginations run riot!
The only thing they have in common is the basic structure: a group of people get locked into a room and must solve a series of clues and puzzles to escape.
