Abstract
Escape rooms are popular recreational activities. Players are locked in a room and must solve a series of puzzles in order to 'escape'. To date there has been no research conducted to examine the accessibility of escape rooms for individuals with disabilities. Escape room designers and players completed an online questionnaire exploring the use of technology and the accessibility of escape rooms. Results show that accessibility remains a key challenge in the design and implementation of escape rooms, despite the inclusion of technology that could be used to improve the experience of users with disabilities.
