Do you want to be unbeatable in a Mystery Room? It’s not just about being clever. It’s about having the right roles in your team. When everyone plays the role they’re best at, you’ll solve the puzzles faster and have more fun along the way. Here are the five most important roles you need on your team.
The Detective
The detective is curious, uncovers even the most elusive clues and reports them in detail to the Helicopter. No detail is too small.
The helicopter
The ‘helicopter’ hovers above the team, has the big picture and knows who is doing what. The ‘helicopter’ gathers information and acts as the team’s hub for knowledge-sharing.
Ask Jørgen
Ask Jørgen has the courage to ask the silly questions that shed new light on the mystery and get the team back on track. Often, it is precisely the unexpected question that untangles the knot.
The German
Whilst the Helicopter keeps track of the people, the German keeps track of all the items. The German knows exactly which puzzles have been solved and which items are still in play. Ordnung muss sein.
The Cheerleader
No bit of progress is too small to celebrate. The cheerleader keeps spirits high throughout the game and is always on hand to lend a helping hand and offer a well-deserved pat on the back.
Frequently asked questions about roles in an escape room
How many people do you need to play a Mystery Room?
A Mystery Room is typically suitable for groups of a few people up to a dozen, depending on the room. The more roles you can cover, the stronger your team will be.
Does everyone have to have a fixed role?
The roles are there to help, not to restrict you. Most teams naturally slip into them as they go along, and the most important thing is that you work together and listen to one another.
