Lets get that feeling happening for you, or if you’re already an escape room master, lets improve those times! To that end we’ve broken down our 5 top tips to make you the hero of your room.
Stuck on something? Swap with someone else. Everyone looks at things differently, and a fresh perspective usually helps.
Set aside things you’ve already used into a ‘discard’ pile. We never re-use items, so this helps you know what you still have to use, and avoids distractions.
Pay attention to recommend group size. Each room is ideal for a certain number of players (generally 4-6), and having less can often be very challenging due to the sheer amount of puzzles you’ll need to get through. On the flip side having too many can often cause a too-many-cooks situation!
Got a combo lock but you can’t figure out the last digit? Well there’s only 10 possible combinations (0 through 9) so just try them all! This will shave a lot of time off!
Similarly, don’t be afraid to try a combination on a lock! Even if only you think its right it’s still worth a shot. You have unlimited goes at it, you don’t need the whole group to sign off on one number combo.
