An escape room, also known as a “panic room game” will take you on an emotional roller coaster in the most satisfying and enjoyable ways imaginable. Especially when the escape room concept is designed with the most immersive props and aesthetics supported by a compelling backstory and narrative.

Do not underestimate a panic room game as simply a game of logic and deductive reasoning because it is specially designed to do just that — make you panic. The first step to succeeding is quite straightforward. Don’t panic!

Tips and Tricks to Conquering a Panic Room Game

Our unique panic room games are brought to life with well-thought-out storytelling and well-polished production. And some Maze Rooms quests can only be described as an adrenaline-pumping experience. So when entering a panic room game, what should one do to avoid cracking under the pressure? It would be cheating to suggest staying calm and composed (that’s a given!) So here are a few other tips to help you mentally prepare for your next escape room:

ASSEMBLE THE RIGHT TEAM

Remember, a panic room game is a team-based activity. It’s not just about you in the room, it’s about team composition and knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses. In these types of high-pressure situations, you want someone who can keep things under control but still share an enjoyable experience, win or lose.

ENTER WITH A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE

Distraction and negativity will not be of use inside an escape room. So put away your phones, forget about any work deadlines or upcoming exams. Think positive and imagine your victory selfies after conquering your escape room!

TIME MANAGEMENT: EYES ON THE CLOCK!

Most escape rooms at Maze Rooms will set a 1-hour timer. It might seem like a lot, but trust us, time flies by inside an escape room. And nothing disrupts focus and sets in the panic like discovering that your time is about to expire! So remember, always keep your eyes on the clock!

SHARE THE ROOM, LET EVERYONE PARTICIPATE

As any successful manager knows, delegation is crucial. If you try to control the room and the entire flow of the quest, the pressure will only keep stacking up on you. Make sure to hear everyone out especially if they have valuable information or ideas to share with the group. Delegate tasks and share the load with the team, that’s why they’re with you in the first place!
