In 2013, LOST started offering escape rooms in Hong Kong, and expanded since to 8 countries. Finding myself in Taiwan, I was eager to test some of the ten rooms LOST set up between two locations within the capital, Taipei. My first excursion led me to Zhongxiao and the room of the Walled City.

Aims: This study aimed to identify the efficiency of escape room activities in terms of enhancing nursing students' retention of maternity-related knowledge and their overall learning performance.
Background: Novel teaching methods have been explored as alternatives to traditional approaches. One such strategy is the implementation of escape-room-based techniques, which have been used as an inventive educational approach in nursing. However, there is limited information available on specific applications, such as in maternity education.
Design: The study conducted a quasi-experimental design during two semesters of an academic year (i.e., the 2021-2022 academic year). The study was conducted at a university, with participants enrolled in a maternity course.
Methods: The experimental group engaged in an online game-based escape room learning activity during the pregnancy assessment session of their maternity course, while the control group learned with a traditional teaching approach. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the performances of the two groups.
Results: Findings from the experimental group suggested that incorporating an online game-based escape room approach into the learning process enhanced students' learning performance, problem-solving skills and critical thinking skills. Additionally, students expressed a consensus that learning through the online game-based escape room approach added enjoyment to the learning experience.
Conclusions: Maternity escape rooms" emerged as an online game-based approach that effectively stimulated nursing students and can serve as a practical resource for engaging in maternity care learning.
The group collaborated with the 831 Studio, which sells artwork by Hong Kong protesters living in exile, to present a room escape game based on the two-week police siege of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) a year ago.
When promoting the one-month exhibition which began last Saturday, VictoriTakao said the escape room was intended to let people experience how protesters had fled the university campus amid a heavy police presence. The organisers also charged 200 or 300 Taiwan dollars (HK$54-81) as an admission fee.
One year ago, the Hung Hom-based university turned into one of the most brutal battlegrounds between police and protesters. Following violent clashes with the force, some demonstrators holed up inside the besieged campus for days while others surrendered. In May, 14 people were charged with rioting in connection with the campus unrest, while one person remains wanted.
The 20-year-old, who declined to be named, said he spent four days in the university and saw desperate protesters searching for every means possible to leave the campus, including climbing down ropes and escaping via sewers.
She added the public would prefer an exhibition similar to the one held by student unions at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, which marked one year since police-protester skirmishes erupted at the Sha Tin campus.

An escape room is an interactive game where a team of people-friends, family, or coworkers-must collaborate to solve problems in the allotted amount of time. Operators of escape rooms devote a great deal of time, energy, and money to designing immersive spaces that immerse participants in suspenseful situations reminiscent of high-budget Hollywood productions.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the global escape room market. Tourism has been one of the most hard-hit sectors worldwide due to the COVID-19 outbreak and escape rooms being a major part of adventure tourism, faced closure and loss of revenue during the outbreak. Also, Lockdowns, social distancing measures, and health concerns limited the ability of customers to explore escape room experiences and facilities.
Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific was the market leader in 2023 and is predicted to continue to be so for the duration of the prediction. China is now the largest market for escape rooms in both the Asia-Pacific region and the world due to its growing population, westernization, and great interest in trying out new goods and services. Rising interest in adventure travel and outdoor leisure activities is fueling the market development in the Asia-Pacific region as more people look for unique and exciting travel experiences. Younger travelers tend to value adventure and discovery more than older travelers do, which makes them more likely to be inclined toward adventure tourism.
One of the nicest cat caf facilities in Taiwan, this beautiful space has been designed for maximum cat interaction with seating at low tables that encourage lap visitors. With spare and modern interiors, soft lighting, and a rotation of cute cat videos, Camulet offers a perfectly balanced atmosphere of cheerful and calm.
Ten cats are in residence, all available for adoption. Many have found their way to the caf by people who feed street cats, however, not all cats are suitable for this environment, and those in the caf have been carefully chosen by the owner, who has studied cat behavior. She ensures the cats avoid stress by providing an escape room and limiting the number of visitors and very young children. Her socialization strategy appears to be working, as the kitties seem playfully happy, and six have found permanent homes so far.
Restraints are less common than they used to be. I ran some numbers on our own experiences in escape rooms. Of the 360 escape rooms that we have played as of the date that I drafted this (July 4, 2017), 25 of them (6.9%) physically restrained at least one player.
Only 2 of these instances had deliberately designed safety release mechanisms. In both of these instances, the releases were added specifically because the local fire marshals insisted upon it. Good on those public officials for being engaged and having some foresight.
There are also market forces in effect: restraints are problematic from a marketing standpoint because new players are frequently jittery to begin with and restraints confirm their worst fears about escape rooms.
Escape rooms are one of the most popular types of entertainment in Taiwan nowadays. In the game, players would be locked in a room where they have to find clues and solve puzzles to escape before the time is up.
This escape room is limited to two to four people, and the whole experience is about 90 minutes. The price is 600 NT per person for two to three people, and 550 NT per person for four people.
When we arrived at EnterSpace, we were led to a seating area after putting our belongings in lockers. The staff was very welcoming, and he explained to us different things to look out for before leading us into the starting room.
The staff did a great job setting up the mood, so that by the time we entered the escape room, we felt immersed in the story, as if we were actually going into the movie.
This escape room is one of the most interactive escape rooms that I have been to, as each person is assigned a character, with their own name, background and role. There are four characters in the storyline, so I would definitely recommend going in as a group of four.
One of the most unique parts of this escape room is that your experience is shaped by your decisions. There are multiple storylines, consequences and endings to the story, which made it feel even more realistic and exciting.
The use of sound, light and technology was also a highlight of the experience. I was quite impressed by the props we were given, and all the special effects that kept us on our toes the whole time. Although there were no live actors, you will definitely feel paranoid and spooked to the very end.
However, one of the slight downsides to this escape room was that the difficulty of the puzzles are slightly on the easier side. If you are an experienced escape room player or a skilled puzzle solver, this escape room may not be what you are looking for.
But if you are looking for an escape room that focuses more on experiencing the story, this one will not disappoint. The decorations and the settings are eerily similar with the movie, and although you do not need to watch the movie in order to play, I would definitely recommend it as it drastically adds to the experience. With the addition of horror effects as well, these puzzles are not necessarily easy either and can take some time to get through.
