STEP 1: ASSEMBLE YOUR TEAM

Choose wisely. Escape room games work best for teams of between 2-6 people, so make sure you and your band of fellow escapees get on well together. Good communication is key, as is the ability to cooperate and think on the same wavelength, but a mix of skills and perspectives can also be useful. Who knows - Jo’s maths knowledge might be more useful than Jon’s murder-mystery addiction!

STEP 2: CHOOSE YOUR FIRST ESCAPE ROOM

Escape room game locations will have a selection for you to pick from, from all-out horror scenarios to fantasy and adventure escape room themes. Do you like the chill that runs down your spine at the scene of an unspeakable event, or in the presence of the supernatural? The desperation at being held hostage by a psychopath? The excitement of searching for pirate treasure or escaping from prison? Or getting away with the biggest robbery of your life?

STEP 3: ARRIVE EARLY & LISTEN TO THE BRIEFING

Get there 10–15 minutes early so you’re relaxed and ready. Pay attention to the rules, safety guidance, and how to request hints—this information can make or break your game.

STEP 4: COMMUNICATE & SEARCH SMARTLY

Talk constantly and say everything you find out loud. Split up, search methodically, and don’t overthink clues—escape room puzzles are designed to be solved through logic and teamwork, not guesswork.

STEP 5: MANAGE TIME, USE HINTS & HAVE FUN

Keep an eye on the clock and don’t get stuck on one puzzle for too long. Hints are there to help you enjoy the experience. Stay calm, embrace the theme, and remember—the real win is the shared experience.
