The team at bookescaperooms.com was surprised with a few common myths or misconceptions some people have about puzzle escape rooms and we are at hand to clarify them:

• Puzzle escape rooms are scary - Wrong!

Rooms are themed to specific scenarios. There are rooms decorated to look like an office in New York 1930s, others that look like a pirate ship, others yet that look like a boardroom. Whilst there are a few rooms which offer a more terrific scanario, such as a jail or mortuary, the aim is to set the mood, not to scare you.

• Puzzle rooms are claustrophobic - Wrong!

Generally speaking all rooms have open spaces and fit up to 6 to 8 people comfortably. Puzzles are well spaced out and you won't be stepping onto each other's feet to get around. If you feel comfortable on a plane for an hour's flight, then you will definitely be at ease in an escape room. What's more, the room is constantly monitored so in case of any danger the door can be opened immediately.

• Seen one escape room, seen them all - Wrong!

• You need to be an Indiana Jones to win - Wrong!

Puzzle games make you the protagonist of your own mystery story. That being said, you don't need to be a detective mastermind to succeed. All you need is common sense, logic and intuition. The puzzles can get challenging and the stress of the countdown doesn't help, but if you stay calm and reason things out, no puzzle is impossible to solve.
