I know you've been downvoted, but I do agree to some extent.
I did an escape room last week, while it was quite fun... the things you had to do to get out weren't exactly inventive. It was more luck than anything else, as you couldn't work out what to do. There wasn't really any logic to it, no connections between challenges just a load of unrelated tasks that lead to the door opening.
That said I'd still recommend it though, at least give it a try!
I think CTFs are like escape rooms but without the fake connection between the challenges. Still as fun to solve with friends, but there isn't that "fake" feeling that would ruin it, like it does ruin escape rooms for me.
