A great idea

There are numerous escape room game mechanics that can help with the puzzle aspect of setting up a room, as now escape’s fantastic write-up demonstrates, but you can have the best puzzles set up, if the core concept is boring, no one will come! And escape game veterans can also tell you this: sometimes the “worst” escape rooms perform the best, just because they have a great theme behind it. The trick is to find a balance here.
Passion for design
At Insomnia we believe that the heart of any escape room experience lies in the design of the room. By design we mean game mechanics, props, sets, everything really. The goal to achieve here is to provide a completely fun and immersive experience for the visitor, making him or her forget how quickly that 60 minutes can run by! At Hidden Trail Escape Room, the folks believe that story is the first step of designing an escape game. We can agree to that, maybe adding a step zero: figuring out how we want our customer to feel in our new escape room!
