Best Escape Rooms in Madrid

In a capital like Madrid, where there are many things to see and do, one of the trends that has grown the most today is the escape rooms, which have evolved to achieve incredible settings and movie plots. If you are up for this experience, I help you with a list of some of the most interesting escape rooms in Madrid, although the list could be much longer.

The escape room inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho could not be left out of a list of the favorite escape rooms in Madrid. Bites Motel by Bite the Fly immerses you from the beginning in the plot of the game thanks to its careful setting and the tests proposed.

Ideally, you should have seen the movie before participating, but it is not a requirement to enjoy it. The game master, with his excellent performance as the manager, will make sure to transport you through the dark secrets of this roadside motel, especially if you choose to play it in "tension" mode. You can also skip the shocks, and play it in "normal" mode.

Bites Motel is a tension/fear game with trials that make sense in the plot of the story and that will transport you to another reality for almost two hours. If you are interested in these experiences, you can go to the Wax Museum to see the Wax Horror Experience section, which is dedicated to classic horror movies like Psycho.

In The White Room you will not find an immersive setting, but a completely white room with a few elements and a handful of clues. You will have only 60 minutes to overcome the challenge. There is no backstory or game masters to provide you with clues, so everything will depend on your own ability to solve the puzzles.

Of course, in such a scenario, the tests are not difficult to solve, as the tension level is very high.
