You've seen every movie in your Netflix queue. You've exhausted the bowling alley and your favorite local restaurants. The usual date nights just aren’t as exciting as they used to be. While dinner and a movie might be a go-to, they can definitely become repetitive after a while.
If you’re ready to break free from your ordinary routine and have an unforgettable date, why not try an escape room? Escape rooms offer a whole new level of excitement for you and your partner - here's why:
Escape rooms are challenging and exciting.
A lot of dates can be fun and exciting, but overall aren't really mentally stimulating or challenging in any way. Escape rooms give you the opportunity to actively solve something with your partner. They’re just the right amount of a challenge but still ultimately focused on fun. Regardless of your experience level, there's many ways that you can benefit from playing an escape room.
Escape rooms give you the opportunity to learn more about your partner.
When you’re locked in a room with another person for an hour, you’ll learn a lot about them! You’ll get to see how they think, how they problem solve, and how the two of you work together. It can tell you a lot about your partner in a way that questions over dinner and drinks just can’t! For example, you might learn that your partner has an affinity for logic puzzles. Or, you might discover how valuable patience can be with one another.
Escape rooms are unique and memorable.
You might remember a movie you saw last week, but you will definitely remember that time your partner tried to put the wrong code in the same lock five separate times. If you’re looking to create a truly memorable experience on your date, escape rooms are perfect for you. It feels great to solve a difficult problem inside an escape room. It’s a great way to make you and your partner feel closer as you work to break out together.
But can you do escape rooms with just two people?
Yes! You can definitely play any of our escape game games with two people. But you should know that it will be slightly more challenging with only two people working on the puzzles. We recommend that you go in knowing this and ask for a few more hints than you would normally. Additionally, it may be beneficial to call beforehand and get a recommendation on which rooms might be best to play with a smaller group. Don't worry - it's definitely possible to break out!
Also know that Breakout is a great idea for a double date! Or triple date! Bring your couple friends to play together and have an unforgettable night out.
