Two words guaranteed to drive tedium into the mind… but health & safety are important for escape room operators and players alike.
Some of the games we’ve played lately – and I haven’t stopped; there’s just a backlog of 22 reviews in various states of incompleteness 🙁 – have made me think about “what’s going to happen if we need to get out of here in a big hurry?” We’ve had one game where smoke started coming out of some electrics part way through, and whilst nothing serious came of that beyond embarrassment for the host, I’m conscious that emergency exit is a consideration of some who play escape rooms.
All our reviews going forward, therefore, will contain a note in the end section about emergency exit facilities. I’ll edit it into older reviews over time.
