The founder, Paul Bart,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://exitgames.co.uk/blog/2014/05/31/interview-with-paul-bart-ceo-and-founder-of-the-escape-hunt-experience/ )〕 a UK national resident in Thailand at the time wanted to create a new form of edutainment based around the new craze of escape games spring up in several cities. He used his professional background and psychological training to build suitable for everyone from families to corporates. Paul is a fully qualified psychologist who graduated with an MA and distinctions from Cambridge University, UK in 1994. By December 2013, Escape Hunt was renamed The Escape Hunt Experience to reflect the additional activities on offer. The first branch opened in Bangkok in July 2013〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.richardbarrow.com/2013/07/play-escape-hunt-in-bangkok/ )〕 quickly became the number one attraction on the TripAdvisor attractions rankings for Bangkok and stayed there until November 2014, when TripAdvisor re-categorised all escape games around the world moving them out of attractions. It now ranks as number one in the Fun and Games category.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g293916-d4476446-Reviews-The_Escape_Hunt_Experience_Bangkok-Bangkok.html )〕 Such was the popularity of their games, the first franchised branch opened in Singapore〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thehoneycombers.com/singapore/2015/01/19/escape-hunt-singapore-experience/ )〕 in May 2014, closely followed by many more. The Escape Hunt Experience continued opening branches all over the world and has branches globally from London〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://london.escapehunt.com/ )〕 to Sydney,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sydney.com/destinations/sydney/sydney-city/city-centre/attractions/the-escape-hunt-experience-sydney )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.geekbomb.net/reviews/the-escape-hunt-experience-sydney-review/ )〕 Lisbon〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://lisbon.escapehunt.com/ )〕 to Ho Chi Minh City,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.asialifemagazine.com/vietnam/escape-hunt-ho-chi-minh-city/ )〕 Cancun〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cancun.escapehunt.com/ )〕 to Bali.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bali.escapehunt.com/ )〕 As of the end of March, 2015, there are 21 branches opened worldwide with another 55 planned to open in 2015. This rapid success and expansion are attributed to many factors not least the fact that each branch has unique games created and changed every six months. These are crested in the Escape Hunt Operations Game Design Academy (EHO GDA), the only one of its kind in the world, located in Bangkok at the heart of the global operations also located there. In April 2015, global operations in Bangkok, including the GDA, will move into new purpose-built 240 sqm headquarters on the 18th floor of the brand new Bhiraj Tower, a new skyscraper in central Bangkok in the so-called EmQuartier zone of Emporium Shopping Centre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Escape Hunt Experience」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
