Adventure Rooms is an escape room game where a group of participants must solve series of puzzles and find the final key so they can get their freedom and escape the mysterious place before 60 minutes is up. This is accomplished by using logic, searching for clues and using unique items in the room to help you get through obstacles like locks and doors, etc. To solve the puzzles different talents are required.
