Escape room
An escape room is a team-based puzzle game with a limited time, usually an hour, to solve a series of puzzles. Players work in groups of two or three and have to solve puzzles and use their knowledge to find their way out of an enclosed space. The game can be played at the player's home, by visiting a store, or by visiting a website. Players use physical items or virtual reality or augmented reality to complete the puzzles.
Escape rooms are generally found in retail stores, online businesses, and haunted houses, but may be found at other places as well, such as amusement parks. Various game mechanics, difficulty levels, and themes are used to cater to players of all ages and levels of experience. Games may be themed around zombies, a murder mystery, a favorite movie, or a scavenger hunt.
Escape rooms originated in the United States in the early 2000s. Other countries have since developed versions of the game. Many store owners who have added an escape room to their business model cite the appeal of the physical activity, the social element of a game of working together to solve the puzzles, and the fact that some customers will actually buy more than one item in the shop as a result of the game experience.
Famous escape rooms include Thrillville USA and Escape Room USA, both found in Illinois, among other locations.

History
The top of the hill was known as "Knoll Moor" and the bottom "Knoll How", and was the site of a Roman Iron Age fort. There is a possible Roman road, now called the "Roman Road", which runs from the fort, through the park and up the hill to the castle and church. A small village existed in the parkland until the 18th century. The be359ba680
