Depending on your preferences, you can choose from classic escape rooms, dynamic action quests, exciting VR adventures and more. Let's take a look at the main types of quests and understand their features and appeal.

1. Questroom or escape-room

This is a classic of the genre. Your team of 2-6 people (sometimes more) is locked in a room from which you need to get out in an hour. It is this direction that is the most popular. Themes of quests are varied, there are often quests based on movies, with different genres for every taste.

 - Adventure quests

 - Horror

 - Fantasy

 - Comedy quest rooms

Quests come in sequential and non-linear. In the former, you solve one mystery after another, as if unraveling a ball of thread. In non-linear ones, there are multiple paths that can lead to different outcomes that are useful in the future.


2. Role-playing quests 

Here there is no attachment to the room and premises, the main thing is interaction with other characters. Having received a role, you reincarnate into another person, trying on a completely different image. You need to solve tasks and achieve goals. The result is unpredictable, each character can behave differently than it was planned, and you will have to act without hints, unlike the questrum.
