You Won’t Believe What Escape Room Staff Have Seen People Do—Prepare to Be Shocked and Amused!
There was a function going on at the attraction that evening too, and the whole castle had to be evacuated. Five fire trucks came.
This is my personal favorite when I’m running a room:
The puzzle: You find a pair of glasses and a folder with a small rectangle cut out of it. You put the glasses on and the previously plain white TV screen now reveals a list of Cites. Place the folder on the screen and the one important city is written the cut out gap.
What every single team always does: Puts the glasses on and then looks around the room with the folder pressed to their face, peeking through the gap in the folder.
It’s a void, cut out hole. There’s no filter, no lenses, you could stick your finger through the hope and wiggle it round, holding it to your face won’t help you.
So many things.
One thing that really got me though– They are all given blacklight flashlights at the beginning of the game. At one point, there was a case full of books that they eventually find a key for. The trick was that they all had secret messages within that lit up with the black lights.
They did not use the black lights. Instead… they thought they were supposed to READ THE BOOKS. Like… start to finish. There were at least 15 full books in the case. At this point they had about 35 minutes (out of an hour) to escape. They all just laid down and read the books for at least 20 minutes before they asked for a clue.
An employee of an escape room told me this one.
The room was in English, but one of the guys was Italian and for some unknown reason couldn’t communicate that he wanted to go to the toilet beforehand. So they go into the room, there is a bucket there that is supposed to be used as a clue, but this madman waits while the lights are still off (horror based room) and PEES IN THE BUCKET! And because the bucket was in a camera dead-zone and there was a sponge in it, they found out after the room was over.
