FPJ'S ANG PROBINSYANO : The Escape Room Experience

ANG PROBINSYANO: The Escape Room Experience



“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

There is a new business sweeping the Philippines called “Escape Room” that’s all the rage. I’ve been hearing about for a couple of years now. And finally I was able to try Left Behind Escape room earlier this afternoon. Thanks to Abs-Cbn Corp Communication for the invitation and for giving me a chance to experience the "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano"escape room.

As the name itself suggest, you have to escape from a room. There is a series of consecutive clues that will eventually lead you out of the room by entering a code or finding a key.

Intense. That's the word that best describes our "FPJ'S Ang Probinsyano" escape room experience earlier this afternoon, Tuesday, October 23, 2018, at the third floor of Vertis North Ayala Mall.


Byx, Jude, Richard, FPJ, Kate and I tried the latest escape room theme of "Ang Probinsyano". The first ever local theme escape room in the Philippines.


A total of 30 minutes were given to our team to escape and solve every obstacle inside the facility.   We had to act fast and act smart to solve and encode the correct password in order to escape from each room inside the facility.

Teamwork is the key to achieve the most coveted success. It is crucial to understand the instructions. We had to read and understand 
the clues as quick as possible. Each team member must cooperate and help one another. So every team members must follow instructions to the letter.  We had to race against a thirty minute clock. There is literally just too much information, numbers, and visual stimuli there to sort through it all in the time. They do that on purpose to lead you off track.

Sometimes, the answers are just simple and out in the open but people tend to complicate things. So what I can say is keep it simple. 
It’s a human tendency for us to overfocus entirely in one area of the room where all the ostentatious stuff is happening and miss the other parts.

Time flies when you're having fun.  The "Ang Probinsyano" Escape room experience is really fun that you would be wanting to come back for more.  


Guys and gals and all of you in between, you ought to try the "Ang Probinsyano" escape room theme with your family or friends real soon so your picture could be displayed on the wall as one of the 30% who succeeded in this game. And who knows, Cardo Dalisay might surprise you and cast you as one of his crews. Lol.


Do you want your whole gang's (barkada) picture hanging on that wall of the groups who succeeded? Go for it, try the new theme offering of "Left Behind."



Birthday celebrants get to enter for free as long as you're accompanied by 3 to 5 full paying guests.
