It's a puzzle room Bill, where you have to solve puzzles and so on to escape from, it's a form of entertainment normally. Sadly five people accidentally died in a fire recently, and that's awful :(
that is so sad but I can't understand why they weren't let out .it's all on camera and if you fail to complete it in the given time the person in charge of your group lets you out as happened to us
You can assume the participants are monitored at all times, you can see the CCTV cameras in position. That doesn't mean that the CCTV operator will be there looking at the screens at all times.
Tragic accident maybe but I'm sure that negligence has played a part.
Bainbrig - I take it you're referring to the fire in Poland, which jno has posted a link to??
I saw this on the news earlier - really sad for five 15 year old girls to die at a birthday party :(
Escape rooms are normally safe - this just seems like a tragic accident.
I'm booked in to an escape room in 2 weeks time ......
