People looking to escape 2020 can spend the final few hours of the year solving an online escape room.
District 3 Escape Rooms offers the virtual experience as an option, where participants log in and direct an actor to solve the problem. A mobile camera system gives the player a first-person view of the escape room.
“It actually works better than what most people expect,” said co-owner David Ma.
“They feel the immersion while they’re in the room. This time, they’re sitting at a computer or at a TV watching but with all the communication and with the time running down, they do get that pressure, especially as time’s running down and they’re trying to save the actor in the room.”
