I’ve never played a real-world escape the room game. I still haven’t, but last night we played an escape the room in a box game. It was fun, but also a little odd. I’m not sure how the real-world ones work, but this in-a-box one feels like a poorly designed adventure game. That’s not a bad thing, it’s a different type of game under very different constraints, so I give it a big pass. It was also fun, and that’s what’s actually important. I also don’t know that I could do better, but hey! This is the Grumpy Gamer blog.

Hey, it’s time for Friday Questions*, but since I’ve never done this before on Grumpy Gamer, there are no questions to answer, so you have a week to ask some. If you have a question, put it in the comments below and I’ll pick 4 or 5 and answer them with a stark honesty that will amaze you. Questions can be about anything, but please keep them game or game industry related. Please don’t ask the same questions I’ve answered a hundred times in a hundred different online interviews. Unlike the Thimbleweed Park Friday questions, these will be answered in old-fashion text-a-reno.
