Even trips to the conceptual establishments with friends and drinking a cocktail cocktail often get you bored. I decided to answer the question of what to do in the evening, and offer seven ways without gastronomic entertainment component.

Quest-rooms


The first offline quest-rooms were created in Switzerland and Hungary. Founders of these quests are considered Parapark and AdventureRooms. Subsequently, the game spread to the UK and US, and in 2014 began to appear in Kiev.
The essence of the game is: you and the team is shut in a room for an hour, during which you need to solve puzzles, find all the clues and codes to open the locks and get out. You can not use gadgets. Should not rely on physical strength, but on the erudition.
