You Won’t Believe What Escape Room Staff Have Seen People Do—Prepare to Be Shocked and Amused!
Did one with friends before where you start in a small room and gradually oven the other rooms.
The first room you assemble a doorknob to get out.
Later a few of us went back in to put a backlight we found around the room for numbers
The door closed behind us and we realised one of us dismantled the doorknob and took it out of the room to check for other hidden doors.
Calling the guy on the walkie talkie to explain we were trapped was a little confusing he said “thats the point ”
He came up and dismantled the lock we were the first people to get trapped this way.
Not an employee, but I have a group of friends that I do esscape rooms with a lot.
On one room, at some point you found a few ping-pong balls and rackets. Two of us cleared a table and started playing while the other two looked at us like we were out of our minds.
I just assume any non-common rules given at the beginning are because some idiot has already done it.
Don’t jump out the two-story window. Don’t eat or drink anything that you find. Don’t try to climb into the ceiling. Don’t touch anything with an orange sticker (which turns out to be 80% of the room including electrical sockets).
We went to one in Ottawa Ontario where there was, among other things, a landscape painting hung on the wall upside-down. The five of us spent a significant amount of time trying to work out what the painting meant for us, because it was clearly intentional. Wasted most of our time, didn’t solve the room, and when the employee came in we asked him to walk us through the rest of the puzzle. He didn’t even reference the painting, so I asked him about it. Apparently, despite being told not to remove the painting from the wall (as we were) the previous group had removed it and left it on the floor. When the employee went to reset the room for us, he didn’t notice he had hung it inverted.
I believe that was the same place that required us to open a type of padlock we’d never seen before, with a sort of joystick in the middle that you slide up, down, left or right. We thought we knew the combination for sure, but the stupid thing wouldn’t open. We had to call the guy in to ask what the real combination was so we could progress. He said we had the combo, then sat down on the floor to open it for us (it was on a short cabinet, he wasn’t just lazy). Took him like 4 tries to get it open.
