Do you know what horror escapes are? Now, we will try to explain it to you at MysterU, although from the name it is very intuitive.
Escape rooms are rooms that contain puzzles that must be solved in a set time. By now, it has become a booming phenomenon that thrills everyone.
Each room has its own theme; there are adventure ones, fantasy ones, investigative ones and those whose theme is horror. We can say that the latter type, unlike the others, plays more on emotions and less on puzzles.
Given all this, in horror escapes you will not need much time to focus on a puzzle that will be easier and less challenging than other escapes. You will simply have to retrieve an object, take it to a location, manipulate it, etc.
What will set you back the most will definitely be the fear and dread that something can happen at any moment. That is, that some presence may suddenly pop out or voices and screams will be heard. In short, everything you expect when you see the protagonists in horror movies.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of this particular escape room but I have to tell you that according to some statistics, these are the most popular!
This data has led to the creation of more and more rooms to this theme precisely because of the growing demand for adrenaline.
To better specify the type of horror escape, we must tell you that there are two types:
1. Horror escapes with actors: Here, you will be immersed in a mysterious and terrifying room where you will see actors dressed as terrifying characters appear at any time and from anywhere. In fact, it has a high degree of fright and is not recommended for everyone.
2. Horror escapes without actors: The second one if you want is a softer version because it does not require the presence of actors ready to scare you but only the setting is in theme.
