The trend of so-called “room escape” games is sweeping China. In the game, players pay to be locked inside a maze of dark, rooms with only a few clues to help them escape. Players must use a variety of skills to break free before the allotted time runs out (usually is 60 minutes). The challenges are designed around themes ranging from hospital scenarios to murder scenes to supernatural mysteries and so on.

Unfortunately that some of the room escape places in Beijing still require you to bring at least one Chinese speaker or reader due to some of the clues will be given in Chinese.

If you’re feeling daring enough to try this out, here are some of the popular room escape spots!
