Things To Do in Palm Springs This Weekend

Who loves the weekend? Everyone right? Because of the ongoing pandemic situation, you will get quite a few options from the list of things to do in Palm Springs this weekend. Some of them are Hiking at the Chuckwalla Trail, pay a visit to the Spring Show held at the Desert Art Centre, A gala dinner theatre night at Chi-Chi Dinner, Enjoy the Escape Rooms at the Palm Springs.

If you want to spend a productive weekend at palm springs with friends and family, then try out play in an Escape room with friends or family. If you have played Cluedo, Scotland Yard, or Murder Mystery, you are sure to enjoy immersive real-life experiences like Escape Rooms! These are similar to these mystery board games but what makes them even better is that there are no actors. This would mean one has no idea what lies in store for them, and purely that gives one enough of an adrenaline rush to turn this into a nerve-racking and thrilling venture.

Escape rooms are a complicated endeavour, literally. When you sign up for an adventure in one, you're locked in a room with everyone one else. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to find the clues. Those clues then lead you to solve puzzles. The puzzles then help you complete your mission to find the key to escape the room. Most rooms require at least two people to play with a usual limit of about 6-8 players, so there's room for everyone to move about freely. Each game takes about one hour to complete. It's perfect for a team-building exercise because all the members must work together to help solve the puzzle. Bonus points to you if you thought of Captain Holt, Gina, Hitchcock, and Scully are working their way out of one in Brooklyn 99!

Additionally, escape rooms have diverse and immersive themes that one can engage with. The players have to be at par with the theme they are competing in, making it all the more exciting and engaging. Now, wouldn't that be a dream getaway from real life and another escapade into adventure or fantasy? (Okay, I get it, I couldn't hide that I'm a fan of Freddie Mercury and Queen) You would probably think, who would want to deal with the stress of problem-solving even out of our mundane daily lives. Let me give you the pièce de resistance. Fun stress is actually good for us, as this interview with Stanford Professor Kelly McGonigal on her new book, The Upside of Stress, reveals!

What's more, with the excitement and pressure of solving a puzzle at hand, all age groups would be equally enthralled and make this venture seem like a real-life video game. For people like me who love spending their free time gaming away, this is the perfect opportunity to translate those skills into real-life ones, involving critical decision-making and communication.

These rooms are like giant puzzles that require one to stay alert and maximize concentration to solve the brain teasers. And while we might have fun, the actual benefit is that it would work to keep our brain and other cognitive functions healthy and potent enough by increasing our creative thinking skills and improving our concentration. That said, Escape Rooms are just another genre of adventure games, and if not for any other benefit, you should check them out if you're looking for fun and an unconventional way to relax.

There are many ways to make your stay at Palm Springs memorable. So, pack your bags and ride to palm spring.
