In general, all the gear or equipment used for the
scary escape room props, and other typical
designs such as adventure or historical events’ themed escape rooms can be classified into six broad categories:
1) Escape room
costumes for the actors, including
masks,
accessories and the make-up to make them look like a real monster;
2) Escape room door locks and openers, which are mostly run on an electric circuit and are automatized for the sake to keep the fun up;
3) Escape room lighting appliances, such as special lasers, light balls and bulbs, or light dimmers to create an obscure and murky atmosphere;
4) Puzzle locks and games, indeed, more typical for the brain-wracking intellectual games, but still can be present in a horror
decor setting;
Room triggers and controllers are present in all the available scenarios, so they do not represent a special prop gear for a scary escape room
design;
5) Video effects touchscreens or TV sets that allow to portray or install an atmosphere of complete desolation and arouse enduring fear in any participant by means of gruesome and macabre images;
6) Finally,
prison escape room props are also very frequently used in horror themed facilities as they closely.
