Over the last decade, the demand for escape rooms has risen considerably throughout the world, including in Glasgow, Scotland where Xcape Rooms Ltd opened four escape rooms with varying clues and puzzles. Escape rooms are used by friends, family and companies for team building with games that need to be solved within a time limit, usually one hour.

Escape rooms were introduced in Japan and the first escape room was a video game, created in 2004. Since then it has turned into real life experiences that are fun, engaging and exciting with a host of different room types to choose from. There are horror rooms, mystical rooms and technological rooms. Most rooms cater for two to four players, though Xcape Rooms Ltd offers rooms for two to five and two to seven players with age limits on the horror rooms of over twelve and over sixteen, depending on the game.

From Japan the concept of real life escape rooms has spread globally and was introduced throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada in 2013. Since then the demand for escape rooms has grown considerably. There are more than one thousand five hundred escape rooms in the United Kingdom today with approximately ten thousand escape rooms around the world.

The popularity of escape rooms grew exponentially as the idea of playing in person rather than a character on a computer screen became appealing to most. Those that escape the room within the time allowance have a sense of victory, it gives them a sense of pride and something to celebrate. Those that play immerse themselves in the game. They are transported to a different world and live out a fantasy for a while.

A spokesperson at Xcape Rooms Ltd in Glasgow, said “Our escape rooms enable adults to become children for a wild, tapping into their imagination and getting them to work together to solve puzzles and clues to get out of the room within a set time frame. It's a chance to forget about the outside world and live in a fantasy world for an hour. It is a very popular team building event that gets teams working together to achieve a goal. We cater to families, friends and companies that are looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon. With four escape rooms we can accommodate up to twenty adults.”
