It’s a common and a good question also a valid one to have indeed! “Trapped Escape Room in Singapore” is one of the safest escape room in all of Asia as there are neither much physical activities required nor there are any dangerous items or stunts that you need to tackle or perform. Kids as small as 7 years and adults as old as your granny are seen having great enjoyment in the rooms and there were to be specific number of casualties / injuries is totally null.
After hearing this I really can’t wait to try it out. How much will it cost and how much time duration do players have? And if we are somewhat helpless inside, will we get any clues or hints from your side?
As far as “Trapped Escape Room in Singapore” is concerned they provide the longest time span to play the game and it’s up to 60 minutes unlike other places where you might come out in void of enjoyment due such a short duration. And trust us if they say 60 minutes, then not a min. less and not a min. more.
And as far as clues are concerned, they will not give you any hint in the starting, but rather you have 3 life lines to ask for help / hints / clues just to make sure that you always have a fair fighting chance and you could enjoy with your peer members no matter what result does the game have. But when you are in group, all of you will think in different way and directions thereby making the game more interesting and people these days are smart enough like to figure out what to do next, it may be possible that you might not even need any lifeline but let us tell you that so far there has not been a Sherlock till now who was smart enough to escape the room without using any of the lifelines.

The other good thing I like about ShowBox is that you can stream your movies even on your tablet. The app is free to download but you must make sure that your smartphone or tablet is rooted or else it will not work.
