If, for some reason, you’re finding that the current lockdown period is not quite claustrophobic enough, there is now a way for you to take domestic imprisonment to the next level. Instead of spending your days mooning from one room of your minuscule, overly expensive flat to another, why not cut out the movement part altogether and take your feelings of oppression online? Thanks to one innovative games company, this is now easier than ever.  Taking a leaf out of the wildly popular “escape rooms” book, new website “Trapped In The Web” has decided to take the breakout concept onto the internet. Offering a range of different online scenarios, the site allows you and a group of friends to attempt to escape incarceration from the comfort of your own computer.  [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/trappedinthewe1/status/1259121923084214273]] According to the “<a href="https://trappedintheweb.com/how-does-it-work%3F">How Does It Work</a>” section of the website, the experience works best when shared among multiple shared screens. As the site <a href="https://trappedintheweb.com/how-does-it-work%3F">explains</a>: “Escape with your mates from the comfort of your own home! Play a series of online, virtual escape rooms solo or in teams from anywhere in the world! “Assemble your team, either over video chat, text message group or  gathered round the same screen. Once you're ready, hit go and make your way through the virtual rooms, solving puzzles to escape! “Depending on your teams skill level and knack for solving puzzles, each room should provide 1-2 hours worth of fun!” [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/trappedinthewe1/status/1259508956835315723]] Compared to the cost of a physical escape room, the Trapped in the Web experience certainly sounds like a bargain. The “Space Race” scenario, in which participants will have to escape from a damaged space station as the oxygen runs out, is currently available for just £3.49, while the other “rooms” can be accessed for £7.99.

However, given the circumstances, any excuse to experience a change of scenery, however virtual, has got to be a good thing.

You can now play in online virtual escape rooms with your mates
