Some prefer horror or horror themes, others science fiction, perhaps set in a movie they are fans of, etc. Keep in mind that although they try to recreate the experience of real Escape Rooms, the dynamics in some of these board games can change.
In addition to this, it is also important to know some details of The manufacturers of these games, and find out what each one has specialized in, to determine which one can best be adapted to your needs or tastes:
- UNLOCK: This board game brand has designed its titles thinking about creating an experience as similar to the real Escape Rooms, with rooms recreated quite realistically.
- Exit- This other brand has focused more on mental challenges, puzzles and sudokus that need to be solved, and has divided them into levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced).
- Escape Room The Game: this series is the one that offers a better atmosphere and immersion, with games that are very elaborate in the visual aspect, material, and even mobile apps with which to put sounds or background music.
- Hide Games: it is aimed at those who like more the police genre and criminology. They come in a cardboard envelope as if they were a real murder case, etc., and where you get everything you need to investigate and discover what happened.
