When British actor John Hurt passed away in January, news editors around the world quickly started broadcasting clips from the actor’s many iconic roles.

When I first heard that there was a Zelda escape room coming to the United States, I imagined a labyrinth of elaborate puzzles, growing more challenging and complicated with each subsequent chamber.
