On weekends and holidays, it is often a leisurely time to meet up with relatives and friends, visit the long-awaited specialty cafes, have a sumptuous brunch, or exercise your muscles through outdoor activities. In recent years, there has been a new option: moving your brain!
In fact, this is the second escape room opened by Ali Cheetham and Owen Spear, a couple with a background in psychology. The escape room in Flemington was so popular earlier this year that the queue for slots is already full until September. The duo, who did not expect that people would enjoy being locked in a secret room so much and spending more than an hour solving puzzles to escape, set out to plan their second escape room plan: Mine Escape.
The second secret room is located in the south of Melbourne. Compared with the storyline of the first secret room with spy intelligence, the puzzle solvers in the second secret room will be trapped in the collapsed mine and must find their whereabouts within the time limit. Locate and escape. Cheetham and Spear spent several months making the puzzles more complex and difficult, including many times using friends and family as guinea pigs in order to increase the difficulty of solving the puzzles. The entire game tests the players vision, hearing, spatial concepts, mathematical logic, physics knowledge, etc., and fully activates your brain.
In addition to a fun and fulfilling gameThe play itself and the layout of the space are also very painstaking. They strive to make all props look appropriate to the scene. In addition to being used in puzzles, they also make the game look realistic.
Personally, I think that although I often want to relax on weekends, this kind of stimulating and tense brainstorming game is really another way to relieve stress!
