AdventureRooms is a real-life escape the room game that was started in March 2012 as a high school project by Gabriel Palacios, a science teacher, in Bern, Switzerland.
[2] Its main influences were adventure computer games from the 1990s, and scientific experiments from his Physics classes.
[5] Another innovation was the introduction of "duels", where two teams can play the same game at the same time against each other.
This game option is used for larger groups, mainly by companies for team building events.
[6] In 2013 AdventureRooms started to offer a franchising system,[7] and the company quickly spread around the globe.
