The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Playing an Escape Game
VR Escape Games have surged in popularity over the past decade, captivating audiences of all ages. Whether you’re an avid gamer, a newcomer, or someone seeking an exciting way to spend time with friends and loved ones, VR escape rooms offer an immersive and thrilling experience.
In this guide, we’ll provide essential tips for beginners to navigate the challenges of an escape room and maximise their chances of success.
Explore Every Detail
Success in a VR escape room begins with thorough exploration. At first glance, you may overlook crucial clues hidden in plain sight. Your task is to scrutinise every element of the room, lifting furniture, inspecting books, and investigating every corner. Clues can be ingeniously concealed, so keep an open mind—everything could be a puzzle waiting to be solved.
Teamwork is Key
Escape rooms are team-oriented games, emphasising effective communication and collaboration. Share any discovered clues with your teammates, as each member brings a unique perspective to solving the mystery.
Consider practising team-building exercises beforehand to enhance cohesion and communication, ensuring a seamless and coordinated effort during the escape.
Use Logical Thinking
Logical thinking is your ally in the escape room. Adopt a deductive mindset and communicate effectively with your team. Avoid unnecessary aggression, as a calm and logical approach is more likely to crack codes and solve puzzles successfully. Harness the collective intelligence of your team to overcome challenges.
Keep a Track of the Time
Escape rooms are a race against the clock, requiring meticulous time management. Regularly check the clock to gauge your progress and allocate time wisely. Avoid getting bogged down by minor details; focus on completing tasks efficiently. Consistent time tracking will be your guide to triumph.
Embrace the Technology
Prepare to be amazed by the advanced design and automation within our VR escape rooms. Each game features high-tech elements and mechanical surprises, contributing to an immersive experience.
Embrace the unexpected changes in the room, understanding that they are integral to the game. Go with the flow and enjoy the technological marvels.
Have Fun
Escape rooms are not just about solving puzzles; they are an opportunity to have fun and enjoy a unique experience. Amidst the excitement of searching for clues, don’t forget to savour the moment. The thrill and adventure inherent in the game are part of the fun itself. Cultivate a spirit of enjoyment to fully appreciate the escape room experience.
Ask for Hints
In challenging situations where time is running out, don’t hesitate to ask for hints. The game master is there to guide you throughout the experience, and seeking assistance won’t result in point deductions. Embrace the collaborative nature of the game and use hints strategically to overcome obstacles.
Each one of our VR escape rooms is ranked by difficulty, so if you’re a beginner you may want to start with a room like Temple Quest or Ascenders, before moving on to trickier rooms like Jumpers or Eclipse.
