There are a lot of backstories that revolve around how the escape room game was originally developed. One of them is when a game developer named Toshimitsu Takagi launched Crimson Room, a small-budget video game that silently took the world by storm in 2004. In this video game, the players would solve a series of riddles to escape a crimson-colored room. Then in 2007, a Kyoto-based developer named Takao Kato dreamt of turning the video game into a physical game. It was then that it changed the future of the gaming industry forever. Kato's dream became a reality as he built the physical escape room game, which quickly swept the world. As the game's popularity grew, more permanent homes were needed for the game to be built. To this day, this iconic game is still widely played and mostly can be found in a shopping mall, where all the crowds go.
If you're planning for an escape room game day, gather up your savviest group of friends and decide which theme appeals to each of you most. The amount of genres offered in a facility usually depends on the size of the space the management can manage. The more space they have, the more genres they can offer. Some popular themes you'll find in an escape room are; mystery, fantasy, horror, prison, military, futuristic, and crime.
