The virtual escape rooms you can now play online

Virtual pub quizzes are so last week.

Now it's all about virtual escape rooms.

Over the past couple of months, many of us have been spending our Friday and Saturday nights video calling friends and family using apps such as Zoom and Houseparty.

If that sounds like you, you will love this.

It's the perfect combination of brain-training and spending quality time with your loved ones in lockdown, reports MirrorOnline.

If you've never heard of escape rooms, it's a game where you have to solve puzzles and clues in order to escape in a set amount of time.

There are five different escape rooms to try on trappedintheweb.com, and, you're able to take part with anyone in the world, either solo or in a team.

So, text your chosen team mates and make your way into one of the rooms on offer.

But, choose your team wisely as the rooms will challenge all of you - and you want your chances of escaping to be pretty high.

Each room takes around an hour or two to complete, depending on how easy or hard you may find them.

And, don't worry, there are three difficulty levels to choose from beginner, intermediate and expert.

The different rooms available are:

  • School’s Out (beginner)
  • A Night at the Theatre (intermediate)
  • Cabin Fever (intermediate)
  • Out of Hours (expert)

How much does it cost?

Each of the games mentioned above cost £7.99 - much cheaper than if you were to go to a real escape room, bargain.

And, there is also an exclusive room called Space Race with a reduced price of £3.49 which is now available to test.

What are you waiting for? This is the perfect Friday night lockdown plan to make with your friends or family.
