We accept questions about LARPs (live action roleplaying games), as discussed in http://meta.rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/165/are-questions-about-larps-on-topicAre questions about LARPs on topic?.

Escape puzzles would be off topic here, however. Most escape games do not have any roleplaying component (besides a very bare premise of "you must be a patient in this mental hospital" or "you must be a spy trying to ransack this room") - or really rules other than "solve puzzles and get out" - and therefore fall outside the fairly generous bounds of what an RPG is (like board games, computer RPGs, movie-marketing ARGs, etc.).

the author of the question failed to notice the declaration of being off topic, so i've put it up the front of that paragraph so we can avoid that down the line too.
