Every escape room has a game master who will take you through the initial journey of understanding the rules. The do’s and don’ts provided need to be carefully heard. This will help you gain the initial boost to get into the escape room!
2. Play the game as a team. You are not alone
As you enter the enchanted escape game room, remember that you are playing in a team. Great teamwork need not necessarily mean a larger group. Even if your group is small, it's completely okay. The only thing which is important and is to be taken care of is that you need to win the challenge by finding clues as a team.
3. Teamwork is successful if you trust
Teamwork is all about trusting your co-players. Remember the golden rule, "Divide and Conquer". Let one person be responsible for one task. Once the task is allocated, trust them. Doubting in the middle of the game will mean that you will not complete your task and your friend will not be able to complete his task successfully. Diving the task will lead to time-saving. Wisely distribute the task and win the escape game.
4. Pass on the undone
If you have been trying to untangle a task for a long time, ask for help. Ask your friend to help you out and give them responsibility. You can take something else. Remember, the clock is ticking. You have only 60 minutes to win it. Every second is important.
5. Listen to your teammates and take the risk
Escape game rooms function best when working as a team. Keep your team active and keep the excitement high. When your teammate comes up with a different idea to solve a quest, try it out. The small turns will make the game memorable and fun. Many perform well under pressure. Trust them and win the game.
6. Shout your best
If you have found something which your team members had been working hard on, shout to make everyone hear what you found. As an escape game room gives only 60 minutes to escape, everyone is engaged in their task. To give them an alarm of an important clue, make sure they hear you well.
7. Pick on what is left than helping your mate
Your mate will solve what he is working on. When taking up the task which your mate is already working on, you will first have to go through its instructions and spend time. Rather, spend your time on the pending task. Remember, it's teamwork. Your friend will solve his part, you choose something else. Together you will conquer.
8. Search the room thoroughly and mark what is done
Many tasks will involve searching for hidden objects. As the rooms can have minimal light, you need to mark the already searched places. This will help you save time and energy.
9. Ask for hints
Yes, you read that right! If you think that you are stuck at a place for a long time, ask hints to your game master. This will create excitement and fun. If you are stuck in one place for a long time, you will soon get bored.
10. Carry a wristwatch
Keeping track of time becomes important while you are inside the escape room. Having a wristwatch will make things easy. You will be able to track every minute. The most crucial time is when you are nearing the end of the game. You will need your wristwatch at that very moment.
