While you can’t know beforehand what your challenge will be, there are some ways to ensure you have the most fun during your visit, and to beat the clock! There are many tips you can find online, but we’ve provided you with some to get you started.
It’s all about teamwork, cooperation, and a healthy dose of fun. Your teammates don’t necessarily have to be the best problem-solvers, but you do want people who will cooperate, take it seriously, and respect others. Players who play on their phones instead or make negative comments will probably cause you to not finish on time.
Escape rooms require concentration, and rushing in late can certainly put your mind in a mental place where it can be hard to focus. That’s why having enough time to go over the rules and get settled in before playing is vital for your team’s success. Be sure to arrive 15 minutes before your reservation so we can explain the rules to everyone. If for some reason you are running late then please call us at 984-201-0224. Please note as well that arriving late may decrease how long you have to play, and may even mean your entry is not guaranteed. Since we want everyone to have fun, be sure to be on time.
One of the most important tips is to communicate. A big part of communication is also listening. Don’t dismiss clues or even your own teammates, because not only could that lead to missing a clue entirely, but can even lead to the dissolution of group adhesion. The most successful groups listen to each other and speak up when they have something important to contribute. And if you’re confused, it is a good idea to ask your teammates for help. They might help you figure out the answer you need to move on.
Don’t give up! Puzzles are supposed to be challenging, and we pride ourselves in offering invigorating puzzles to all players. Stay focused, but also stay positive! When morale gets low it can bring down other players, reducing your chances of escaping. Don’t worry, we will let you out if you don’t finish, but it is a lot better to try, cooperate, and beat the clock!
It seems like it should be obvious, but don’t touch parts of the set that you should not touch or make up your own rules. This will disrupt your time as the game master might have to come in and fix something, and generally ruins the mood when some people ruin the fun for others. Instead, use your good judgment so everyone can have fun.
Keep an eye on the clock! Budgeting your time is vital for success. You may have to delegate different tasks to people in your group, such as one person being the designated time-keeper. Time seems to fly by real fast when you’re in the room, so be sure to pay attention to the timer.
