Our escape rooms in London are a great place to practice your communication and listening skills. Make sure to give everyone on the team a chance to voice their ideas, as the silliest suggestions can often lead to the correct solution!

Identify Key Objectives

When you first enter the room, search for any places where you may need to input something. For example, any keypads, padlocks, keyholes, etc. will require a code or a key to solve. You can use this to figure out what the objective of the escape room is and figure out whether you need to be searching for a combination or a hidden key.

It’s easy to miss certain clues, simply because you’re not checking an object properly. Make sure you’re checking the inside and outside of the clue before disregarding it as irrelevant. If your eyesight is a little fuzzy, make sure you bring your glasses with you so you’re able to decipher any fine print in the escape room.
