The origin of this game is from Japan, but here in Europe, it comes from Hungary. It’s a global trend.
The original idea came from a Hungarian guy who lives in Budapest, where the first game in Europe was invented, inspired by the book Flow. It’s a theory of happiness by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who is also Hungarian but lives in the United States. His ideology: “being in a state of complete concentration, absorbed by an activity, brings high levels of well-being.” This type of game provides an experience of “flow.” This idea of focused attention is similar to meditation. That’s why escape room games are so famous, and you should try them sometime. It will make you addicted to escape rooms.
