    As much as I like escape rooms, I’d definitely reject the idea of having a first date with a man be somewhere where I’m locked in with him for at least x amount of time and I’m being judged on my actions. All I would be thinking about is “get me out of here!”

    I know there are people monitoring the situation but I still would never agree to be so dependent on strangers on a first date.

    Maybe go to a board game cafe instead and play some skill based games?

      Just a heads up, you’re not ever actually locked in for any escape rooms I’ve ever done. You can just walk out at any time, being “locked in” is only part of the narrative, for safety reasons.

      That being said, you should always trust your gut and not have to worry about relying on strangers. Local places can also be pretty sketchy sometimes.

      It’s a good first date for the right kind of people, horrible for others, and a risky bet either way.
