Escape Stoke - The Ultimate Guide to Beating an Escape Room

If you’re looking to win on your first Escape Room Game, then this post should give you a few tips on how to beat the clock effectively and have fun at the same time. We can’t say that by reading our post you’ll win, but what it will do is give you a few clues before you get here and make you feel more confident. So, read the only guide you’ll ever need on beating the Escape Room challenge. 

Keep clues and puzzles in one safe central place.

Don’t lose your clues, because if you do you may never see them again and that could lose you the entire game. There are lots of different things to consider, including furniture, pictures, bookshelves, things on the floor, on the wall etc, so it makes sense to allocate one place to put them where they can be worked on together as a group later once you’ve found them all. 

Familiarise yourself with the room’s well-known layout.

You’ll find that most of the Escape Rooms, wherever they are, are designed in a similar way and will follow the same rules. Knowing this will save you time as you navigate your way around the room. Remember, clues won’t be hidden so well that you’ll lose the will to live, the game is designed so you’ll find them and solve them within the hour, so don’t overthink things too much. 

Play will people you know well and enjoy spending time with.

If you play with people you know there will be less awkwardness and you won’t be faced with the prospect of spending time with someone you don’t get on with. Pick people that have similar interests to you and people you know will play as you do – to win. They could be people you work with on a regular basis, or close friends and family.

Keep the team small and snug.

You’re supposed to have between 2 to 6 players in a game. We suggest you choose under 6. That way it won’t be too crowded, there’ll be room for people to move around and there’ll be no one bumping into the furniture or each other.

Tips For Putting Together Your Escape Room Team

Let’s talk teams, Escape Game teams. If you want to put together the best team, then you need to have some sort of strategy in place. You need to at least consider the kind of people you want to invite to be in with a chance of winning. You’ll need to bring along people who are good at communicating, working things out and getting along with other people. You’ll be locked in a room with a group of up to 6 people, so you want to make sure you all get on. So, let’s get started. 

Team players

Firstly, make sure you choose people who are happy to be part of a team. Ones who are team players and don’t enjoy being dominant. There’s no point having someone there who’s dominating the game, not letting anyone else use their initiative and bellowing orders out left, right and centre. You want people who enjoy working with others, and there’s no ‘i’ in team. 

A good delegator

Find someone who can delegate, this is someone who will stand on the sidelines and not necessarily take part, but guide people as to where they should be heading next to find a clue. Managing the team really is what’s required here and steering everyone in the right direction, keeping an eye on the clock and cheering people on.

You want people who get on well

Find a group of people who all get on and are at least familiar with each other. A bunch of strangers in a room for the first time may not get on with each other, so find like-minded people, possibly from work or family friends. It’ll make for a better game, and there’ll be a better chance of you getting on and spending an hour together, without getting psychologically damaged from the experience. 

Good communicators

People who are good at communicating is essential, you don’t want people who don’t talk or don’t tell anybody else anything. People who keep things to themselves. There’s only one way you’re going to win this game and that’s by talking to each other, it’s an interactive game, get it? No silent types or go-it-alone people. 

Good at the detailed stuff

Finally, you want people who are good at puzzles and figuring things out - quickly. There’s bound to be someone in your group of friends at work or at home who are good at the geeky stuff, and know how to work out clues really, really well. You definitely want to bring them along for sure!
