Immersive and Diverse Game Rooms

Escape Room Era offers a range of game rooms, each with a unique theme and storyline. Here are a few examples:

  1. "Overgrown" - Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, players assume the roles of survivors searching for a cure. This non-horror room provides an exciting and adrenaline-fueled experience.
  2. "The Hide" - A thrilling murder-mystery room where players become private investigators gathering evidence against a suspected serial killer. With a horror theme, "The Hide" delivers a suspenseful and intense atmosphere.
  3. "Christmas at Franklin's" - A holiday-themed room where participants become part of a Seal Team ELF-A tasked with acquiring Benjamin Franklin's latest toy invention. Through teamwork and problem-solving, players must navigate through Christmas-themed puzzles to save the holiday season.

  1. Brainstorming - The Escape Room Era team generates unique and exciting puzzle ideas that align with the chosen theme. Drawing inspiration from various sources, they aim to create innovative and intriguing puzzles.
  2. Designing the Physical Components - This includes constructing props, creating hidden compartments, and setting up interactive elements that enhance the overall experience. Attention to detail is crucial during this stage to ensure player immersion.
  3. Balancing Puzzle Difficulty - Striking the right balance between challenge and solvability is essential. Playtesting with a variety of participants helps fine-tune the puzzles for an optimal level of challenge.
  4. Integrating Puzzles into the Narrative - Escape Room Era emphasizes the importance of narrative and flow within their rooms. Puzzles are carefully integrated into the storyline to create a cohesive and immersive experience. They seek to avoid standalone challenges and instead ensure that puzzles contribute to the overall narrative and progression of the game.
  5. Promoting Teamwork and Collaboration - Many puzzles require players to work together, encouraging communication and cooperation. This not only adds complexity but also enhances the experience for participants.

Partnership with Escapade Games

Escape Room Era has partnered with Escapade Games, located in Fullerton, California. Known for their horror escape rooms, Escapade Games offers the award-winning room "Zoe Reborn."

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
