Escape Room Tips and Tricks
Escape Room Tips and Tricks
Whether you're an escape room expert or a newbie, here is some escape room advice to help you escape in time and have a great experience.
1. Search carefully.
Some items are carefully hidden, and others are hidden in plain sight. Look under and around for hidden objects or information. Escape rooms are designed for immersion so anything in your environment could help you along.
2. Share your learning.
You need to collaborate and communicate with your team members. Information or objects you find might be important to a puzzle someone else is working on. Successful teams are the ones that communicate and work together.
3. Use the items in the room.
Almost all of the items in the room have a purpose. Think about what something will be used for and keep an eye out for the opportunity. But also be wary of red herrings or things that will lead you astray.
4. Stay organized.
It’s easy to lose track of what has been solved or what remains unsolved. Staying organized in an escape room helps you know your progress so you don’t accidentally waste time on things that have already been resolved.
5. Pass off puzzles and clues to teammates.
If you feel stuck in an escape room while working through a puzzle, consider passing it off to another member of your group or asking for help. Usually they can bring a fresh eye and perspective that can solve the challenge.
6. Be mindful of your time.
Keep an eye on the clock escape room time limit. Your remaining time can help you know if you’re spending a bit too much time on a puzzle, move on to another challenge, or ask for an escape room hint.
7. Ask for a hint from your game master.
Your escape room game masters and moderators are here to support you. Don’t be afraid to ask them for help if you’re stumped. Escape room hints are gentle nudges to help your group discover the solution, rather than just giving it away.
8. Don’t give up!
Some escape room puzzles are meant to be difficult. Sometimes a solution is obvious, sometimes not. Take a deep breath and try to think of different ways to approach the solution. And more clues for your puzzle may be discovered or revealed later on. Stay active. Keep searching. Keep trying.
