escapist - the avoidance of reality by absorption of the mind in entertainment or in an imaginative situation, activity, etc.
Escapology is the practice of escaping from restraints or other traps. Escapologists (also called escape artists) escape from handcuffs, straitjackets, cages, steel boxes, barrels, bags, burning buildings, fish-tanks and other perils, often in combination.
