An escape room is a physical adventure game in which players are locked in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles and escape within a set time limit. The games are physical versions of "escape the room" video games. Games are set in a variety of fictional locations, such as prison cells, dungeons and space stations, and are popular as team building exercises. (Courtesy to Wikipedia)
The above explanation by Wikipedia is spot on. For more information and details check the wikipedia page out. Kuwait has right now 5 fixed location Escape rooms and 1 mobile maze (These are the ones I am aware of, there may be more). All the escape rooms have a fully functioning website and social media accounts which are used for booking and enquiring purposes.
