Many commercial escape rooms offer a lab escape experience (I have not done one, but something tells me they generally involve a nutty professor, white lab coats, and lots of Erlenmeyer flasks). Whether these classify as science communication is up for debate. But there are also more educational and evidence-informed escape rooms. The program of the latest Day of Science (Dag van de Wetenschap) event in Flanders and Brussels included seven escape rooms covering topics such as space, chemistry, and technology.
If you are looking for inspiration, the blog She Loves Science has some tips for making your own science escape room.
