Play Tomb Raider – Book An Escape Room

She was the video game character from the mid-nineties who became a worldwide phenomenon. Lara Croft was the heroine of `Tomb Raider` brought out by the Japanese video game publisher Square Enix and first appeared in 1996. Lara Croft is the international adventurer come archaeologist first created by British game developer Core Design.

They envisioned a female Indiana Jones. A beautiful, pneumatic English aristocrat who travelled round the world searching for buried treasure. She would have to use her brains and agility to overcome obstacles and get out of dangerous situations. Lara could escape from a pharaohs gravesite in the desert, a cave in the Amazon rainforest or a sunken Spanish galleon. All the while evading villains, rival tomb raiders, mummified zombies or dangerous wild animals. There is nothing she couldn’t handle. Just like someone who plays one of our escape rooms in Glasgow, Dundee, Stirling and Edinburgh. Man or woman, boy or girl, you too could find your inner Lara Croft. Book an incredible adventure game and give it a go!

A character in a video game has become a cultural icon, just as popular as any movie star. She has starred in `Tomb Raider` sequels, novels and comic books. Lara Croft has appeared in more than a thousand magazine covers and has been a movie star. Oscar winning Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie played her in the 2001 film `Lara Croft: Tomb Raider` and its sequel `Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life` in 2003. But another Oscar winner is set to take over the role. The Swedish actress Alicia Vikander will play Lara in a new reboot, simply entitled `Tomb Raider ` which is being released in cinemas.

If you are in the mood for excitement, just like Lara Croft, then why not take up the challenge? From escaping from an underground mine and breaking out of a wartime bunker, to storming a pirate ship and a castle. These are just a few of the adventures that await you if you book an escape room today.

How To Beat An Escape Room

Have you decided to attempt one of our escape room games? Are you a beginner who has never played before? Are you excited but a little unsure if you will be able to solve the clues? But don’t stress. There are a few simple rules to follow if you are going to make it out of an escape room in time.

For starters, you and your team will be led into your game and the door will be locked behind you. You must solve the clues, puzzles and riddles inside to find the key. It is therefore advisable you take a thorough look around. It may seem obvious, but you wouldn’t want to leave anything to chance. An important clue may be right in front of you. So, as soon as you walk in the room, search everywhere. Look in every corner. Open every drawer. Check every table. Is there a book or a piece of paper in the room? What’s on the walls? Is there a sign? The key to escaping the room could have been left out in plain sight for all to see.

But the biggest key to beating an escape room game may be teamwork. It is often a collaborative effort. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you are unsure of something, ask a question. But, on the other hand, if you think you have cracked the clue, don’t keep it to yourself. You can go further by talking it out and exchanging ideas. The best way to beat an escape room is by working together.

Play Escape Room Games As Seen On TV

How do you know when a pastime has entered the general consciousness and become a part of popular culture? It has either been mentioned in a song or appears in a tv show or movie, and escape rooms are no different. There are various instances of interactive adventure games being featured in popular television programs, only highlighting their ongoing appeal.

For example, in a recent episode of the popular British sitcom `Not Going Out,` entitled appropriately enough `Escape Room`, the main character Lee, played by comedian Lee Mack, celebrates his birthday by playing an escape room game with his family, but things don’t go as planned.

It is not just British programs which have focused on escape room games. They have also been mentioned in American shows, such as the US comedy `Two Broke Girls`. The series about two waitresses in New York trying to make a success of their business. In the fifth episode of the fifth season, called `And The Escape Room`, the girls must work together to play an Alice In Wonderland themed game.

What’s more, in an episode of cop comedy `Brooklyn Nine-Nine,` stern Captain Holt, his sarcastic assistant Gina and lovable bumbling detectives Hitchcock and Scully played an escape room as part of a team-building exercise. The goal was to find four hidden keys to prevent a nuclear apocalypse where, almost more by accident than design, they teamed up to solve the puzzle.

These are just a few of the well-known television programs which have centred on escape rooms. It is another example of how immersive interactive games are becoming more and more widespread. If you would like to experience this far-reaching phenomenon for yourself, then visit one of our sites. You can ride the wave that’s taken tv and movies by storm, by playing an escape room game in Scotland.

Take A Trip Into History With Escape Rooms Scotland

Are you a horror fan? Do you have a fascination with historical murder cases? There is an intriguing new escape room which has recently just opened in London. A one of a kind adventure in an extraordinary setting, based on a notorious crime from the past. It has been called the next level of gaming, combining history, puzzle solving and performance art. Check into the horrifying The Hollow Hotel.

The ground-breaking game is created by differencEngine, a theatre company specialising in immersive, interactive experiences. The Hollow Hotel is three floors above ground level and located on Clements Road, close to Bermondsey tube station in South London. As the name suggests, this is no ordinary escape room. It is laid out like a mock hotel, where visitors can switch between floors, play their own escape rooms and confer with cast members, as they try and solve the mystery. But that’s easier said than done because the building is not modelled after just any hotel. It is based on the infamous `Murder Castle` in Chicago in the late 19th Century.

It was the story that shocked America. The case of mass murderer H.H. Holmes who opened a three-storey hotel in 1893 with over a hundred rooms. However, the place turned out to be a real-life chamber of horrors. The hotel was full of spy holes, trap doors, and secret passages, but that wasn’t the worst part. It turned out that Holmes was murdering his guests. He confessed to killing 28 people and was executed, but many think he could have murdered up to 200. The story was documented in the 2003 non-fiction book `The Devil in the White City` by Erik Larson. It has been announced that Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese is working on a movie version, with Leonardo DiCaprio playing Holmes.

If you enjoy escape rooms with a historical backdrop, then visit our sites across Scotland. You could play the fantastic Gold Rush or Black Pearl games in Dundee. How about the World War Two Bunker room in Edinburgh and the historical Castle Alba adventure in Stirling? For a thrilling journey back in time, book a trip to Escape Rooms Scotland.
