Tips And Tricks To Get Out Of The Escaping Room
Escaping Room games are immersive interactive scenarios, each with a different goal. It is an area in which a team of people look for and find out clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in order to escape that area. The team must then find the clues, understand the clues, solve the puzzles. Here are some tips and tricks by using which you can escape the room on time or before the time.
- GET INTO IT RIGHT AWAY: An hour seems like a lot of time to escape from the room, and you may be tempted to take it easy at the beginning. Try not to be tricked – time can creep up on you, and before you know it you could be in a tough situation with just a few minutes left on the clock to get out of it. Don’t waste time!
- SEARCH THE ROOM THOROUGHLY: There will be clues hidden all around the escape room, so ensure you investigate every possibility. One plan is to divide the room into parts for each of your team to investigate or organize yourselves into pairs so that you get two sets of eyes on every object, door, shelf, book, and possible clue. One individual may see something the other neglected.
- DON’T ALL BUNCH AROUND ONE PUZZLE: You’ve just got 60 minutes to discover the exit plan, so the more things you are all doing or looking at, the better. If everyone looks at the same thing, then you are leaving other possible clues and solutions untouched while the clock is ticking. Also, if one or two of you are feeling stuck on a puzzle, move on getting someone else to take over – they may see something you didn’t.
- SHOUT OUT WHAT YOU FIND: You probably won’t know if another team member needs something you have found, or if someone else has exactly the object or clue you need to complete your puzzle! Every team member should know to shout out whenever they find something that looks useful, so you can all still be working together, even if you’re looking through different parts of the room.
- ORGANIZE YOUR OBJECTS: Set up a space to put objects to one side once you’ve used them, or to arrange them in an efficient way. You might want to group objects by theme, or if you simply feel they should belong together. This way, when you need something, you’ll know exactly where it, and by putting things in the same place you might notice new connections between them. In this way, you can easily get out of the room.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
