AN UNFORGETTABLE ADRENALINE EXPERIENCE IN LONDON

Do you enjoy the thrill of heart-racing, adrenaline-pumping activities, always seeking out thrilling and exciting adventures?

Seeking an adrenaline experience in London, the thrill-seeker is faced with lots of choices – from sky walking and speed boats, to helicopter rides and ab sailing – but one true adrenaline experience stands miles apart from the rest. Escape rooms.

But first, let’s look at what adrenaline is, and how an escape room challenge might give you the hit you are looking for.

What is Adrenaline?

Here comes the science. Adrenaline is a hormone, secreted by the adrenal glands directly into the bloodstream. It results in an increased heart rate and an increased blood pressure – expanding the air passages of your lungs, enlarging the pupil in your eyes and altering your metabolism.

This amazing chemical messenger does more than just that – an adrenaline rush can feel like pure excitement as your mind and body prepare for the event ahead.

Faced with fear, your heartbeat will sky rocket, you will start to sweat and you will be able to run at a speed you didn’t know possible. Your body’s ability to fight or flight is legendary, and for some, addictive.

Could I be an adrenaline junkie?

If you enjoy intense activities that result in an adrenaline rush, chances are you are one of the sensation seeking thrill seekers who hunt down the next adventure, not content to sit and watch others – always seeking out the next thrill and out for a good time.

What some people don’t realise, is that their desire for thrill seeking might be something called adrenaline addiction, and they seek out that sensation in whatever exciting format they can find – whether it’s skydiving, extreme sports or working in a dangerous job.

Finding an adrenaline experience in London

Adventures and excitement may be high on the list in a theme park or water park, but seeking adrenaline-filled fun in a city is a different matter.

With a distinct lack of mountains, and indeed sharks for that matter, thrill-seekers in the capital need to think, quite literally, out of the box. So just where do you get a true adrenaline experience in London?

Escape rooms offer inner-city adrenaline junkies a chance to face fear – what better way to get the emotional release so often desired than to deal head-on with survival and escape from a locked room? No need for large open spaces or death-defying heights. Just you, a locked room and your fear.

What is an Escape Room?

An escape room is by definition a physical game, or experience, where players are locked in a room and given 60 minutes to escape, working together to solve clues, riddles and puzzles.

In reality, it’s a heart-racing, adrenaline pumping hour – racing against the clock to escape the danger lurking outside – perhaps it’s a serial killer out to get supplies, with you the next victim if you haven’t managed to escape. Perhaps you have been found guilty of murder, and facing life imprisonment with no chance of appeal, escape is your only option. Or maybe someone initiated a nuclear weapons launch sequence within a bunker and it’s up to you and your team to infiltrate the bunker before the world becomes toast!

Whatever the challenge, an escape room experience immerses thrill-seekers in an exciting, tense and thrilling situation. Players are given a steady release of adrenaline throughout the game, with the final hit arriving when they finally escape.

Escape rooms embrace the concept of fear and being able to experience fear in a controlled way. They allow you to get closer to it, and put you at the heart of it. Escape rooms will get your adrenaline rushing and your mind working.

Escape rooms marked the beginning of a new form of entertainment – physical entertainment. No longer do you watch as the script unfolds, your actions determine how the script unfolds – you can control the narrative and control the story.

Finding the right escape room for an adrenaline experience

For those seeking an adrenaline experience in London, finding an escape room that meets their need for excitement and fear, is a big task. There is plenty of choice in a big city like London, but not all experiences will provide the same level of fear and suspension that an adrenaline junkie needs.
