(#3) Appoint A Project Manager
Every group of friends has an organizer. Put those skills to use! A project manager will keep your game running smoothly.
This person should not work on puzzles but, instead, be aware of what there is to figure out, what has already been completed, and who is working on what. The project manager will keep an eye on time and keep morale high.

(#8) Toss The Room!
When you first enter the room, the project manager should begin by looking for locks and familiarizing themselves with the different types of locks in the room. While they are on lock duty, everyone else should toss the room. Spread out to cover as much ground as possible, and go nuts! This is one of the most fun moments in any escape game, and a well-made room will make it incredibly satisfying.
Look in, around, atop, and under everything you possibly can. Flip through books, and take things off walls and shelves - unless they are bolted down or plugged in. You can even check for loose boards, or anything that looks like it’s been moved a number of times.
Be curious. Many things won’t make sense right away, and that’s fine! Take note and move on.

(#5) Choose Your Teammates Wisely
Group dynamic is very important. An escape room is a high-pressure environment, so personal issues outside the room will likely be exacerbated inside.
You also need to consider the balance of your team. Someone may excel at visual perception, another may be great with numbers and patterns, and yet another may have the out-of-the-box thinking that enables them to find clues in unusual places or think to use an object in an unexpected way.
The more variety your team has, the better you will fare.

(#12) Use Your Check-In To Your Advantage
Don’t wait until you are in the room to start taking in information. When you check in, ask what types of locks they have in the room, and ask for explanations of any that you are not familiar with.
Ask if it is possible for each team member to have some paper and a pen for notes. If this is your first escape room, be sure to let them know.
-
(#18) Ignore Anything That Doesn’t Fit The Theme
You can easily waste time reading into every single number or word you find. Don’t be taken in! If it doesn’t fit the theme of the room, it isn’t worth your time.
For example, if you flip over a rug and see a tag with cleaning instructions and a barcode, move on. Sometimes a tag is just a tag.

(#7) Pick The Right Game For Your Group
If this is your first time at an escape room, don’t choose one with a 16% escape rate. Even if you love a challenge, choosing an extreme level of difficulty when you are a total newbie is a recipe for frustration. You’re here to have fun! You may love the idea of a room with a time-travel theme, but if the escape rate is under 35% or so, save it for next time.
It’s also important to do a bit of pre-game sleuthing. The cheapest offering may not be the right one for you. Read reviews of a few different businesses. See if your friends have any recommendations. It is totally worth paying an extra $10 per person for a well-built game with awesome, immersive sets.
