Every fan has their own set of escape room tips and tricks, and the strategies can differ when playing alone, playing with strangers, or playing with a group of friends. Many fans develop their own escape room tips and tricks after their second or third visit, and friends will often stay after their time is up to discuss what they did right or what they could have done differently.
One of the best escape room tips and tricks is to maintain a cooperative mindset based on teamwork. Whether going into a break out room solo or going with a group, playing with a team mindset is vital to success. Groups that communicate well and share their thoughts progress more than silent groups where everyone is working separately. Escape rooms are the ultimate team game, so always go into it ready to work together.
Add our next suggestion to your list of best escape room tips and tricks: organization. Find a single place in the room whether it's a table, a shelf, or an unused section of the floor and organize your clues there. Be sure to look for an instrument such as a notepad or a whiteboard that allows the group to take notes and solve puzzles. Last but not least, try to keep similar clues grouped together.
The most important of our escape room tips and tricks is pretty simple but extremely effective: Have fun! Remember that fun is the reason that you and/or your group booked the experience in the first place. Every bit of success should be celebrated, and even a perceived failure can result in hilarious and fun memories. Never forget your reason for being in the escape room.
With these escape room tricks and tips, any individual or group should be in for a successful and fun adventure. Got any of your own escape room tricks and tips to share?
