jeezifonly Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 A former thread on this topic has expired. I’ve been curious about escape rooms, and have only seen them portrayed in scripted shows with fictional characters. I know no one personally who’s been to one, which is kinda weird given how long they’ve been around. Have you done one, and would you repeat? Have you been to more than one and have comparisons? I know people recommend gathering some friends for your team. Thoughts? Is there an ideal number? Should I avoid inviting dimwits, or does that add to the fun? Would you say it takes about as long as watching a movie? You’re an entertaining bunch - looking forward to hearing what you know! 😘🔍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallahadesquire Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 At least three, four is better. One per son needs to be in charge and recall tasks that need to be complete. There should be two areas: one for stuff that looks promising but hasn’t been used yet, and another for used items. Side note: tools are rarely used more than once. Every time a new tool or clue is found, it should be shouted out so that every body hears it. “I found a lock!” “I have a key!” Oh, the person in charge doesn’t look for tools or clues. + Vegas_Millennial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy15 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I went to one a few years ago. There were 8 of us, all good friends. We didn't have anyone in charge--just worked together and on our own. We all loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Coolwave35 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I love them and have traveled the US doing them. I’ve done over 100 rooms and only haven’t gotten out twice. One room was so poorly designed and the technology broke so bad that I had to leave in disgust. Lol My ex husband and I used to pay a premium to be the only ones in the room because we had gotten stuck with some families, or stoners, or people that played casually that made it not fun for us. I highly recommend giving it a try I happen to love them. Prime38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloKyle Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 They have one in the mall by me. A coworker said it's fun. And they have like 5 or 6 different rooms for different age levels. Been wanting to go eventually but covid had it on the backburner. Also they are rerunning on NBC this Thursday night a Celebrity Escape Room special that originally aired last year. It was pretty funny so check it out if you missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
