It doesn’t have to be a 1920’s murder mystery like ours. It just has to be a scene that you can easily get lost in. Our love for the 1920’s happened to be something that we had in common so that was what we did.
However, it should be noted that
Envy isn't quite so suitable as a singleplayer game. Like Chess, you can play it alone (and some people really do enjoy this). However, it may not live up to its truly epic potential. Escape rooms tend to have at least two characters. We all know Sherlock Holmes isn’t the same without Watson, and Batman isn’t the same without Robin. So find yourself a sidekick before setting out on your grand quest!
If there are at least two people in your home and you’re bored, an escape room kit could just be the adventure that you need.
