The Escape Game (established in 2014) is a U.S.-based escape room company offering puzzle-based experiences. Players work together to solve a series of challenges in themed environments to accomplish specific goals within a set time, usually 60 minutes. The company became one of the largest escape room chains in the U.S. with over 45 escape rooms nationwide.[1][2][3]
History
[edit]The Escape Game was established in 2014 in Nashville, Tennessee, by Mark Flint, Jonathan Murrell, and James Murrell. Mark became intrigued by escape rooms after trying one during a family vacation in London. Inspired, he and the Murrells began creating prototype escape rooms in his basement. To refine their concept, they visited Hungary—an emerging hub for escape rooms—where they played approximately 14 different games. Based on their experience in 2014, they opened the first The Escape Game location in Nashville.[1][4][5]
Games and Experiences
[edit]Each game features a theme and story line, where players are tasked with solving a series of interconnected puzzles.[6][7] The games are designed for various skill levels, with hints available for teams that need assistance.[1][8][9]
Although The Escape Game had offered digital experiences before, virtual escape rooms became significantly more popular in 2020, as the demand for remote entertainment surged during the initial Covid-19 lock-downs. The Escape Game provides remote adventures where players guide live actors via video feeds through an escape room.[10]
