The popularity of escape rooms have exploded all over the world. People have been booking their slots and dragging their friends to these sites in the hopes of beating the clock. Perhaps humans are simply wired to love solving puzzles, and that has certainly helped our species accomplish so much despite so little time on Earth. Wherever there’s a challenge, expect a long line of eager individuals who want to conquer it. However, you don’t need to queue up just to be able to tackle these mysteries. You could create a DIY escape room at home using downloadable kits. This setup has several advantages:

Stay in a Safe Environment

You don’t have to take unnecessary risks during a still raging pandemic. Although cases can go down and it seems everything is under control, the virus has a habit of coming back even worse than before. Other countries are already experiencing these new surges so it pays to be careful. Escape rooms are especially risky since you need to play them with a group. It would be best if you can stay in a safe environment such as your house where you have complete control over who gets in and what sanitation measures are in place.

Have Fun with the Family

If you have experience going to these escape rooms before, then you probably came out of them thinking that you wish you could take your loved ones next time. Perhaps you feel like they would love the challenge as well. However, this may not have materialized due to conflicts in schedule, full booked sites, and other issues. If you can create a DIY escape room at home, then everyone can join easily. Just schedule it after everyone’s work and study periods. It could become part of your weekend bonding habits. Even the most reluctant ones will eventually join when they see how much fun you are having.

Set an Amazing Party Activity

Celebrate special occasions despite the current difficulties. Individuals who are having their birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and other milestones deserve to be recognized. There should be good food and fun activities for all to make it memorable. A home-based escape room could be a great party activity to break the monotony of the lockdowns. You could take extra effort by decorating the house to match the theme of the mystery. Find a family-friendly kit that will suit all ages.
