Handy Tips Before Your First Escape Room Adventure

Escape rooms are themed rooms where you and your team have to find clues and solve puzzles to either get out of the room or reach a goal within the time limit (usually 60 minutes). This is an exciting new idea, and with the Atlanta team-building events adding a competitive element, there’s never been a better time to see what all the fuss is about.

Here Are Some Tips For Getting Started:

Choosing An Escape Room

If you’re lucky, you’ll have a lot of choices in your town or city. Websites like TripAdvisor and Yelp can give you an idea of the most popular escape room companies in your area. This is a good place to start. Look at the different themes and stories and choose one that interests or excites you. Do you want to try to steal from a bank? Why not try to stop nuclear missiles from being launched before time runs out? Getting away from a serial killer might be more your style. Think about who might be on your team because not everyone will be able to handle certain themes or physical requirements.

Picking Your Team And Making A Booking

You’ll want people who know each other well enough to communicate well and who know the strengths and weaknesses of each other. Diversity is also not a bad thing, since different approaches and ways of thinking will make the team stronger as a whole.

Team outings in Atlanta are a great alternative to other team-building activities. They help people improve their communication and work together. They are also a great way for friends and family to spend time together and can bring together young and old.

On The Day

In an escape room, you might have to crouch down and look under things, or you might even have to crawl on the floor at times. It’s smart to wear clothes that are soft and stretchy. We suggest getting together with your team before the escape room at a place close to it, like a coffee shop or bar that you can walk to. 

Getting Your Introduction

Usually, you will be told what to expect and any rules before the game start. Listen carefully! Every escape room company is different, and even within the same company, rules can change from room to room.

Let The Games Begin!

When the timer goes off, split up and look all over the room. Say what you see out loud when you see something that looks like a puzzle or when you find or unlock something interesting. Sharing this information is important if you want to figure out how the clues fit together.
