Are you planning to break the record in a Mystery Room? Then it’s all about working together smartly. With the right strategies, you’ll solve the puzzles faster and make the most of the 60 minutes. Here are our top tips for escaping, which you can share with the whole team.
Be curious
Take your hands out of your pockets and start looking. A mystery must be found before it can be solved. Be thorough, so you don’t overlook anything.
Keep it simple
When you overthink the solutions, you overlook the obvious. Most puzzles are simpler than they seem.
Talk about the problems
Solve the puzzle by focusing on the problem rather than the solution. Think out loud and explain your challenges to your teammates. Two heads are better than one.
Keep order amidst the chaos
Keep track of what has been used and what hasn’t. As a rule, clues, codes and keys should only be used once.
Have fun
When you’re having fun, you’ll find the fighting spirit you need to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. Give each other a high five – it works.
