7 Tips to a Successful Escape
 
#1 Strength in numbers
 
Just one more person in your team can make a huge difference. So many groups who didn't make it out in time were actually very close to finishing the game and to open the exit door. One extra person can easily make the escape 5-10 minutes quicker. 
 
#2 Look at objects from every angle
 
When you search for clues, try to be as thorough as an airport security guard. Grab everything, turn things around. The answer to a puzzle can be in your hand, you might be just looking at it from the wrong angle. Have a good eye for details.
 
#3 Be persistant
 
If you believe that you have a solution to a game but the code that you have got doesn't open any locks, it can be worthwhile to double check your solving. Never give up, some games can take a while to figure out. 
 
#4 Summarise
 
What have/ haven't you used? What have/ haven't you solved?.
Have a strategy for dealing with finds. Separating used clues from unused ones can make things a lot easier in the long run.
 
#5 It's a team game

Share your findings with your team – cooperate and listen to each other. Ask for help from your mates if you find a riddle too difficult or challenging. 

 #6 Use the walkie talkie

Many escape rooms provide walkie talkies for players to help them through more complex puzzles if needed. Your captors will happily give you clues along the way but it works both ways. Ask for a clue if you feel you've tried everything and need a little push to move further in the game.
