The Perks of an Escape Room Date

The modern-day dating scene is a lot different than it once was. Whether you met your new special someone online, via an app, or the old-fashioned way, the goal is still the same: two people connecting.

But while cell phones have made communication easier and lightning quick, there’s still no substitute for face-to-face interaction—something that millennials are well aware of, of course. The “real world experience” that escape games offer is one of the major reasons they’re so popular—and one of the major reasons it makes an escape room the perfect place for a date.

You and your date actually have to talk.

Unlike a going out to a movie or attending a concert, this is one real world experience that you can’t get through silently. If you don’t start communicating immediately—and effectively—then you might not escape the clutches of the evil genius that haunts our Saw-themed escape game. And that, my friends, would be a crying shame.

You can see how well you work together.

Although it’s probably a tall order for a first date, an escape room with a newish beau or beau-ette can help you figure out whether you gel as a team. As we all know, relationships are ultimately about partnership, so testing those waters early on is never a bad idea. Plus, escape rooms are mighty fun—which is never a bad thing either.

You can dazzle your date with your intellect.

There aren’t too many dating activities out there that give you a chance to show off your brain muscles without seeming like a know-it-all. An escape game is the perfect way to let the new person in your life know you’re not just super suave and good looking and uber funny—you’re also a brainiac. Or—on the off-chance the escape game prevails and you don’t win the evening—you can at least show off your “good sport” skills.
