It was won from a Facebook contest organised by KL Lifestyle Magazine. "Like" their page because there's always goodies to be won. I love their chirpy updates too!

Have you heard of this game or played it before? There is only one goal, and that is to escape from the room you're locked in. The only way out is to hunt for clues and solve the mystery. It ultimately leads to a key which will open the door to freedom. Did we make it? Mmm.. .. what do you think? The answer is in the title of this post. Hah!
I can't reveal the details of the game because that would be spoiling the fun for those who haven't tried it, but I can share a snippet of our adventure.
"It was dark. We swept our flashlights around the room. A booby trap! Red laser beams crisscrossed the path before us. Oh boy, getting to the other side wasn't going to be easy..."

About the whole experience and the place: Escape Room offers several game themes. There's Prison Break, Pirate Ship, Slaughter House and many more. You can choose to imagine yourself as a swashbuckling hero on a great adventure or someone trying to break out of jail.
Making reservations online was easy. Took me just a couple of minutes. The rates are cheaper for non-peak hours.
We arrived 15 minutes before our time slot, registered and left our belongings inside a locker. The walls were lined with polaroid pictures of people who had taken the Escape Room challenge. I thought it was a brilliant way to decorate the walls - a personal touch.
Several props were arranged on the table. Handcuffs and a blindfold? I heard screams of terror from some of the other rooms and gulped down a "Lord, no. That had better not be us too! "
We were led into a dark corridor, brought into the room and briefed on the mission. Then, we were locked in for 45 minutes.
How did we fare? Great. I'm not saying that we won, but that we had a winning attitude about things. We left quite pleased with our silly selves!
Before we left, they grouped us together for a photo and gave us one to take home as souvenir.
Overall experience? Riveting!
Have I tempted you enough to give this activity a try? I'm making reservations for another room this November ;)
