All human beings have a subconscious addiction to adrenaline. We all love the feeling of our blood rushing through our veins and our body moving almost entirely on its own with our minds racing through every single scenario and possibility and our hearts pounding through our very skin. Games make us feel alive.
Best time to play the games
Unfortunately, in this day and age, adrenaline type experiences like those are hard to find. We don’t live in the forest wilderness or the deep jungle anymore: we live in concrete buildings and cities and go to 
work at desks from 9 am – 5 pm. Fortunately, however, there are still ways that we can have this feeling of being alive and push our minds and bodies to the limit: through the Escape The Room Challenge, in New York City.
Escape Entertainment has had a massive following in the last few years, by creating “Escape Rooms” which are specially designed rooms and challenges where teams enter into a room and have to escape the room within one hour. They are faced with several challenges and puzzles, and teams must learn to work together to escape the room and complete the challenge. They first opened up in Asia and now have location all across the world and one in almost every major city. Now two rooms are the same.
Playing the game
Escape the Room-NYC has gotten extremely positive reviews, and it’s been ranked as one of the better Escape The Room experiences. There are three rooms that you can choose from: “Manhattan Mayhem”, “Prohibition Pandemonium”, and “Alien Attack”. Each room specifically tests for certain skills: clue finding, pattern recognition, communication skills, teamwork, general problem-solving, spatial relations, digital tool application, logic, and tactile challenges.
Each room has a 60-minute time limit. You can book a group to attend Escape The Room that’s filled with your family members and friends, or you can join a group with strangers and get to know them over the mutual bond of escaping the room within the hour.
In addition to being a great fun and social activity for you to do with your friends and family, the Escape The Room challenges are also a great team building exercise, for companies and teams to do together and become stronger as a whole.
Many organizations will arrange to have their employees gather into groups and perform go through the rooms, and they can even arrange to have multiple teams race each other. It not only tests your personal aptitude but also your ability to work together as a team.
