Finding your way to escape

HANNAH AYRES, reporter

   Escape room are meant for teams to go into a closed space where they use clues and hints to solve many puzzles.

 In Escape rooms you get locked into multiple rooms with a group of friends or even strangers in which you are given clues to find keys to unlock each doors. They usaually give you an hour to escape the entire room.

Most games cost 25 to 30 dollars and usually let 10 through 12 players at a time according to Marketwatch. In Bel Air, Maryland a recent escape room was added called Great Escapes. According to Great Escapes Harford it’s “an escape room, an entertainment venue with themed games designed for ages 14 and older. Participants in groups of up to 10 are closed in a room and work together to find clues and solve puzzles that reveal hidden keys to “unlock” the room and “escape.”

    Tickets are 27 dollars at Great Escapes, but that is not the only escape room around the North Harford area. The Lock N’ Key Escape Room is in Baltimore which is $28.50 for one player. There are also many others in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

   Junior Julia Fiacco thought “It was challenging, it was so hard, you had to really work together with who you were with, it was really fun though my brain was hurting real hard i needed a nap at the end”

   Great Escapes said “There are locked doors players need to get through to solve the puzzles, but exits are always available. Each room also has a monitoring camera for safety.”
   “I think it was really challenging i think one of the more challenging parts was getting everyone focused and since it was so time consuming and difficult” said junior Clayton Allred.
