Cruise ship fan Posted February 18, 2017 #356 Share Posted February 18, 2017 How so? It is pretty much a generic room. Looks a bit like a tiny plain disco when looking in through the window. Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboi Posted February 18, 2017 #357 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'm now very curious as to what the escape room actually is. Anyone care to enlighten me before I board on Monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 60 minutes to unravel the mystery or numerous puzzles within a room, working within the team to escape and get out of the room.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted February 18, 2017 #360 Share Posted February 18, 2017 This is info about the one on the Harmony but it is similar. Escape the Rubicon Royal Caribbean first introduced an escape room game on Anthem of the Seas and the concept is now going to be added to Harmony of the Seas. If you are wondering what an "escape room" is, it is essentially a group game, where players must solve clues hidden throughout one room in an allocated amount of time (usually 60 minutes) in order to find the "key" to escaping the room. This is different kind of onboard activity that was pioneered by a group called Puzzle Break, which have created similar experiences on in a few cities. After a briefing, guests search a room for clues and hidden messages and then try to put it all together to figure out the key phrase. There are word searches, patterns and other challenges designed to get you thinking in a lot of different directions. Escape the Rubicon will take place in a dedicated space designed in partnership with ShowFX Inc., a staple for Hollywood studios’ engineering, design and fabrication of custom entertainment equipment.

TheRedShirt Posted February 18, 2017 #362 Share Posted February 18, 2017 How so? Just in comparison to escape rooms I've done on land with friends. The room was pretty bare, not much of a theme, no real flow to the puzzles, large group making communication difficult. To be fair, it is free and it's still a good experience to have on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted February 18, 2017 #364 Share Posted February 18, 2017 It is pretty much a generic room. Looks a bit like a tiny plain disco when looking in through the window. Yeah, was built for other purposes, has other fittings in there that we were told not to touch! Not sure they run it on Asian cruises where it is based.

Newby58 Posted February 19, 2017 #366 Share Posted February 19, 2017 It's all about teamwork. Not too many groups make it out. The "fake props" are to confuse you. Just think "outside the box". Luckily our group consisted of baby boomers, gen X and gen Y. We had it covered [emoji18] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise ship fan Posted February 20, 2017 #373 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Well the prices for the cruise I just got back from the other week dropped around $1000 per person. Between when we booked it and when we could no longer cancel and rebook for the better price. Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though maybe more people will want to go? The difference is that I have been on her now (and at the lower prices) so the attraction of the ship is not as strong.
