CAN YOUNG CHILDREN PLAY ESCAPE ROOMS?
If you're unsure about whether or not to try an escape room for your kids' half term activities or for their next birthday party, let us assure you that our escape rooms are the perfect choice!
Not only will they provide your children with a thrilling and unforgettable experience, but they can also help them develop valuable skills for the future.
Here are three reasons why you should consider an escape room for your next family entertainment activity:
1. The rooms don’t have to be difficult
If you're worried that escape rooms will be too challenging for your kids, let us reassure you that our rooms are designed to be enjoyable for all ages. Our game masters are expertly trained to adjust the difficulty of each game to the players, so you won't feel frustrated or stuck. In fact, it's common for players to ask for hints - 97% of groups use them! That includes family groups, couples on a date night, even corporate events for international companies. And remember, hints are there to help you have the best experience possible, not to make you feel like you're cheating.
Our award-winning rooms are full of creative puzzles and stunning set design, so everyone in the family will have a great time - from realistic London tube carriages in Hijacked, to an immersive jungle wilderness in Cursed, children and adults alike will be in awe at the unique atmosphere in each room!
2. Help your child develop important skills in a unique and exciting way
One of the best things about escape rooms is that they are fantastic team-building activities for kids!
In a typical escape room game, players have to work together to solve puzzles and escape the room before time runs out, encouraging creative thinking and team-working skills. This experience teaches kids valuable skills like decision-making, problem-solving, organization, listening, and communication, all while having a blast.
In just an hour, your children will learn valuable life skills and have a ton of fun at the same time - there's no better way to encourage teamwork and creativity!
3. Children are secret geniuses - they’ll definitely surprise you
We've talked about how escape rooms can be beneficial for children, but what benefit can children bring to your escape room team?
The answer is simple: children view the world differently than adults and teenagers, and this unique perspective can be incredibly valuable when solving puzzles. Children are also great at spotting clues that adults might overlook, so they can help the team progress faster.
In short, having a young person on your escape room team can be a huge advantage!
All of our rooms here in Slough, as well as our rooms in our branch in South Woodham Ferrers are designed to be accessible for families with no jump scares, live actors or any inappropriate language or content. The rooms are designed for players 12 and over, but younger children are more than welcome if part of a family or with the guidance of an adult!
