The new trend in entertainment and leisure in the midst of confinement is virtual escape rooms. It is something like escapism around the house, all in virtual format and even by multiconference.
Just prior to the presence of the coronavirus people entertained themselves by playing games of locking themselves in chilling rooms while protecting themselves from some end-of-the-world virus. The game was about saving humanity.
Escape rooms are games that have adapted to confinement, as there is no escape in the midst of the global pandemic situation. The social networks are also the daily travelers of enigmas, riddles, mathematical operations and problems, etc. to occupy the mind or virtual missions that can be achieved by teleconferencing.
What virtual escape rooms are like
They are online games that you can play on your mobile, tablet or computer. They can be logic challenges, visual quests, riddles, enigmas, mathematical calculations or apocalyptic battles. They want you to be able to entertain yourself in a creative way. You can play alone or in multiplayer format.
To develop them you can use Google to meet the challenges.
Diversity of games
In general, the world is responding. The creators of “Exit Room Escape”, “The Paradox Room” and “Hygienic Apocalypse” are surprised by the great acceptance and reception. In fact, this last game has already been played by more than 100,000 people since the confinement began. All in the spirit of entertaining the mind and escaping for a while.
You can also participate in galactic missions such as “Star Escape”, an online multi-conference escape room that you can play from your couch as part of a group of 4 to 6 interconnected people. Everything takes place in a spaceship navigating with encrypted coordinates and confined in a very distant galaxy.
Another good entertainment is the “Enigmas of Cocolisto”, which has already registered more than 11,000. Ideal for a moment of relaxation with the family or with those who are going through quarantine.
“The cure for the greatest virus of the 21st century” is an escape room that has had great acceptance. It was born as a hobby and has already registered more than 30,000 players. Part two will be coming soon.
“Hora 26” is another game that was born right in the middle of confinement. It is played between 1 and 3 players and consists of helping a doctor who comes from the future to fix his time machine, so that he can return to his own time.
“The Interview” is also an escape room for 4 players applying for a job they know nothing about, but are qualified for.
“The Office” is another option where players are investigators who take on the mission of solving who hacked into a company’s accounts.
Virtual escape rooms are a relief to disconnect from what is happening in reality.
