The competitive side of us may wish to take no hints and attempt to beat the fastest time, but really the point of an escape room is to have fun and enjoy yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
When the timer starts, split up and search the room thoroughly. Say out loud what you see when something looks puzzle-related, and whenever you find or unlock something of interest. Sharing this information is important when it comes to making connections between clues. For example, that symbol under the desk might be crucial later on, but if you don\u2019t let your team know you\u2019ve seen it then they won\u2019t have the chance to use it! Communication is paramount. Even thinking out aloud can help trigger new ideas in your teammates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is likely that at some point you will get stuck and require a nudge in the right direction. Don\u2019t let pride get the better of you, there is no shame in asking for hints! You\u2019ll have a more enjoyable time if you progress consistently through the room and see most of the puzzles even if you don\u2019t quite make it out in time. Sometimes it can be hard to get started when there is so much to take in. Don\u2019t wait longer than 5 or 10 minutes to ask for your first hint to get the ball rolling, because you might never make that time back if you burn up any more valuable minutes with no progress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the game is over your host will congratulate\/commiserate and should be able to answer any questions about the puzzles and any steps that may remain. A good Game Master will try to ensure you see the majority of the room during your experience. Generally, escape rooms are not ordinarily worth replaying to complete, and your money is better spent on a new room the next time. Ordinarily a team photo opportunity follows, and then depending on the facilities you may get a chance to take a seat and have a coffee. Your team will likely be excited to talk about the experience, but always be careful not to spoil the rooms and puzzles when around other customers, it\u2019s not the polite thing to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
