Put together your dream team

It might seem straightforward, but having a strong team to play with is an important first step to a great escape room experience. Friends, family, or even colleagues make great teammates and your game will help strengthen the bonds between you. The trick to building your team is to consider the team’s size. You may benefit from fewer players if they are all self-assured, decisive, or good communicators. But if your group tends to be soft-spoken, or indecisive, you might want to increase your numbers.

Make a plan

While you’ll obviously need to know what day you want to play before you make your booking, what a lot of people overlook is availability. It’s important to keep your schedule as open as possible so you can play the game that appeals to you the most. Sure, there may be times that are more convenient than others, but try to be flexible since your game of choice is sure to guarantee the best time.

Know what you’re getting into

There’s very little you can do to study for an escape room, but you can definitely get a heads up. Check out the website and read up about the games. It’s important to know some key factors such as the story of the game, the types of puzzles, or any physical challenges that might be waiting for you. It won’t be fun to be surprised by a game; you’ll want to know in advance if the theme or the elements are to your taste.
