Escape games have become all the rage. What better activity with family or for a business team, than to work together to resolve puzzles, enigmas, riddles, labyrinths and word games?
In Paris they’ve flourished. Folks here love to solve mysteries, and they’re quite good at it. I’ve participated in games in New York and Paris, and the main difference is that New York is more theatrical, Paris is more cerebral. In our Paris run, we encountered at least twice as many enigmas, lock combinations, and such as New York. The larger the group, the better to be able to solve all the problems in time.
