The Escape Hunt‏ - Escaping a High-Tech Reality Game

Sponsored Post

Are you starting to run out of ideas on where to hang out during weekend or what to do during group outing?

Introducing you a new hangout place where you can have lots of fun playing with your friends “escape hunt” reality game:

The Escape Hunt‏.

The Escape Hunt Experience is a unique adventure based on the classic “escape the room” games now popular in many places around the world. Players are locked in a simple room with objects and feel like being inside a computer game while searching for clues and solving puzzles trying to escape.

Turn yourself into Sherlock Holmes at The Escape Hunt where you are transported back over 100 years and play the part of a famous London detective with your colleagues trying to solve a mystery set in Singapore.

The Escape Hunt‏ is a Global Live Escape Game with more than 20 branches in the world.

The games are designed by a UK mensa member, who has a Masters in Psychology from Cambridge. They are designed in multi-dimensional, and non-linear. Game play follows a strong story line and are logical, instead of random.

Upon  entering, we were being brought to the lounge area before the start of our game. The place was very cosy and vintage classic. It totally feels like we were being transported back to the world of Sherlock Holmes.

We were ready to start our game.

They have 6 rooms at Escape Hunt that is split into 3 different adventures. (Game layout will be changed every 6 months)
Each has an exciting and different theme. Each theme has an entirely different set of puzzles and codes so you can of course come back to play out other room later and still enjoy the experience equally. 

There is also an option for advanced room for those who believe themselves of superior intellect – Put it to the test!

Play as a team of 2 – 5 players & choose from 3 unique games set in 6 indoor rooms.
Each game is 60 minutes per session.

One thing I like about The Escape Hunt‏ is that they do not combine groups with each other. For example, if your group only have 2 players, the room is yours exclusively. They will not combine you with other group to make it 5 players. Not only that, you will also have your own dedicated game master waiting just outside the room if you need any help.

A crime has been committed, and it is up to our group to solve it. Time to use our detective brain to work it out and solve the mystery and escape before the time is up.

At Escape Hunt, slow and steady wins the race simply don't work. To escape, you need to think on your feet - fast! Stand united as a team, or fall divided as individuals. Time is running out...

My experience:

The game was really fun. It got us cracking our brains and think out of the box to find the clues to open the lock. It is not easy to be Sherlock Holmes, we need to think deeply to piece the clues together. Nothing in the game room is placed there by chance, there is always more than meets the eye. 

There is this saying - 3 brain is better then 1 brain. It requires us to work together as a team where there is more opinions and more people to share the load.

Nevertheless, we managed to escape the room with some helps from our game master.

Our adventure did not end here. After our game, there was a photo taking segment where we get dress up in Sherlock Holmes costumes.

With my partner in crime - GF.

With my awesome team.
There were also props for us to pose with too.

After which, we went over to the lounge area for a nice cup of complimentary tea and biscuits. A perfect way to end off the session to have a sip of tea and share our game experience with one another.

Though The Escape Hunt might not the cheapest among the provider, but they provide great value for money as they deliver much better games and customer service than anyone out there.

The Escape Hunt is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year with first game at 10am and last game at 8:30pm.
It is fantastic fun for all ages and ability levels giving you unforgettable memories.
