Have you heard of the phrase: Social media echo chambers?
With the opportunity to live in a global village, we can find enough people whose voices are the same as ours. As we converse online, the soothing words begin to echo more and more – around the chamber that we have decided to make our home. And we isolate ourselves to escape our fears.
In another twist, we are invited into the “fun” of escape rooms – a game you can play at selected venues near you! In this game, you look for a key to escape the dark of the prison you are placed into. These rooms would be the opposite of the echo chamber (or more rightly, the echo chamber that we didn’t want to be in). And we desperately seek to find the key to the exit.
New games, or old configurations imagined for a new generation?
