It is good to exercise your body, but it is also good to exercise your brain. It is well-known that activities such as crossword puzzles, brain teasers or other mental games can keep your brain in top shape. But improving your cognitive skills doesn’t have to be a chore.
Try out the most popular new form of entertainment, an escape room. Escape rooms are a real-life adventure in which the participants are locked in a room and must solve puzzles, riddles, and follow clues in order to escape.
We all love cliffhangers in which a hero, or a team of heroes, find themselves in a high stakes adventure from which they escape using their wits, along with a few carefully placed clues and props. With escape rooms, each room is created around a plot, or a theme, using techniques similar to those used in theater, movie making, and game development. The time you spend in an escape room is social, physical, intellectually stimulating, and exciting. You will find yourself embroiled in a plot designed to get your adrenaline pumping. The clock is ticking. You and your teammates must use strategy, critical analysis, imagination, logic, and focus to confront the challenge and overcome it. Escape rooms challenge your individual thinking skills. But in addition, this is a social activity, perfect for families, groups of friends, neighbors, co-workers, or other groups. The group is most effective when team members work together, communicate, and listen to everyone’s ideas.
A popular Denver escape room offers three themed rooms to choose from. In The Egyptian Tomb, an archeologist disappeared in 1940. You and your team must solve his mysterious disappearance and escape from the tomb. In The Big Game, you and your fellow players have been locked in the coach’s office by the treacherous opposing team. Will you escape in time to win the championship game? Or perhaps you would prefer to solve Casino Heist, in which you and your team must get from the casino to the vault and escape before the police arrive. Just how cool are you under pressure?
