If cracking those codes and riddles sounds like mind-bending fun, you’re in luck. Here are some extra ideas to add to those collaborative challenges that are sure to test your wits and teamwork skills.
Unlocking Fun
- Theme it out: Choose an escape room theme that excites you both. Do you love a historical mystery, a futuristic sci-fi challenge, or a spooky haunted house vibe?
- Set the mood: Build anticipation by watching a movie or reading a book related to the escape room’s theme.
- Team name & roles:Â Come up with a funny team name for your dynamic duo and jokingly assign roles (“Riddler in Chief”, “Master of Distractions”, etc.).
The Final Clue
- Communication is 🔑: Communicate clearly and be open to each other’s ideas, even if they seem outlandish at first.
- Celebrate small wins: Give shoutouts when a puzzle gets solved, building each other up during the process.
- Play to your strengths:Â If one of you is good at spotting patterns and the other enjoys word games, work together strategically.
The Great Escape
- The debrief:Â Talk about the puzzles that stumped you, the ones you aced, and funny moments from the experience.
- Tapas with a twist:Â Tie the tapas experience to your escape room theme! If you did a pirate-themed room, go for a seafood-focused place.
Bonus Tip: No escape room near you or are the offerings not up to your escape artist standards? Try an at-home escape room board game, the experience can be just as rewarding!
