Originating in Japan, real-life escape games have grown in popularity in the recent decade, and they’re just as exciting as they sound.

As the name implies, the objective is often to escape something, such as a prison cell or haunted house, but these games can also be about, say, solving a murder mystery or finding a lost treasure. Usually played in groups of 3-5, the games make for a fun activity among friends, and they involve solving puzzles to find clues and get answers within a time limit.
