From a Harry Potter room that takes you through the Wizarding World, to breaking out of our cell in Alcatraz, we are suckers for a good escape room. And now, the UAE’s first nature-themed escape has opened – but it comes with a twist.
Co-founded by Emirates Nature-WWF and Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi, the Desert Survival Challenge, a 15-minute escape room set in the Arabian Desert, has been designed to not only entertain you and your pals, but also to raise awareness around the UAE’s heritage and environmental issues.
Players can embark upon a journey to survive the dangers of the sandy landscapes, all whilst learnings things like the importance of keeping the environment clean through waste segregation, and how loud sounds and bright lights impact wildlife.
The all-new 3D virtual mobile escape room will also educate players on the importance of Houbara conservation, a global conservation strategy was developed and implemented over the past forty years with the objective of ensuring the species has a sustainable future in the wild.
An escape room with a good cause? Count us in.
