Here are some common types of escape room scenarios based on themes and experiences:

Example:
Haunted House: Players must escape a haunted mansion, solving supernatural puzzles while avoiding a ghostly presence.

In sci-fi-themed escape rooms, players often find themselves in high-tech or futuristic environments, such as spaceships, labs, or dystopian worlds. These rooms can feature tech-based puzzles, holographic elements, or alien encounters.
Example:
Spaceship Rescue: Players are aboard a malfunctioning spaceship and must fix the systems before they run out of oxygen.
