Random Worst Things Escape Room Employees Have Seen (15 items)

• (#3) Keep The Props Out Of Your Mouth

  From Null_pntr: 

  "We did an escape room one time where there were these jars with severed limbs in them. When we got out we commented to the guy running it that we found it interesting that the jars were cement glued shut, cement glued to the shelf, and the shelf screwed to the wall. Seemed like over kill to us.

  Well apparently the reason they do this was because another group had managed to pry the jars away from the shelf and open the jars. This is about when they realized, watching the cameras, that something was going on. So they rush in to see what's up and they hear "Guys! We have to drink the water!" The nasty part was that the water was out of the local river a few blocks away, to get that dirty murky look."
• (#5) Don't Destroy The Room, Seriously

  From DontYouDareGoHollow: 

  "I had been there for 10 hours and a group was playing a room with a locked door as the main focus of the first half, and I kind of stopped watching the screen for a few minutes only to look back and see that they had used a handcuff key to remove the hinges and take the door off the frame. I couldn't really do anything at that point so I just kind of had to let them continue."
• (#12) For Some, Failure Is Unacceptable

  From Avvyface: 

  "Had a group of engineers with Ph.Ds come do our hardest room. I explained the hint system to them, like how I will ask them if they want a hint if they look like they're stuck. They were about 15 minutes in and hadn't solved anything, so I asked them if they wanted a hint. The guy looked at the camera and said, 'Burn in hell' not jokingly. They only solved 3 puzzles."
• (#1) Surprise Marriage Proposals? Not Always The Best Idea

  From GloriousTuna:

  "We've had around 3 proposals in the escape rooms so far...The second was sh*tty. We were not informed at all. The girl was chained and blindfolded in a small, black box room. No idea why he thought that would be a good place to propose."

   
• (#10) Nudity Is Never The Solution

  From lacinyc: 

  "Locked a couple of guys in the cage and then came back and they'd stripped naked. I just left them to it."
• (#9) Not Every Door Is An Escape

  From Magnolious: 

  "We have this false door who leads to a wall which is to make people believe that's the way they came in (they're blindfolded at first). One guy was so happy that he found the 'last' key in record time, when he opened the door, he slammed his head so hard that the group in the next room got scared."
