By Natasha

Trying to solve all the puzzles and also juggle the time is challenging but not impossible! If you want to be able to successfully escape on time, read on for some of the tips and tricks we have for you!

• Divide and conquer

Do not only focus on one part of the room, divide your team to comb through certain section so that time is well managed and a bigger surface area can be covered. Rotate if you have to so you do not miss out on any clues.

• Time your progress

Bring a wristwatch if it is allowed , if it is not allowed, there would usually be a timer in the room to help you pace yourself. Appoint a team member or yourself to watch the time and pace your progress. For example, if there are more than one room it is an hour game, pace yourself to spend around 15-20 minutes in each escape room Singapore.

• Ask for Clues

If you and your team members are not able to solve the puzzle after a period of time, ask the game masters for a clue. Do not stay on one puzzle for too long as there might be more puzzles later in the game that might need more time. The game masters would be glad to answer any questions and give you clues that would bring you a step closer to freedom.

• Move quickly but keep calm

Be calm but move quickly and efficiently. Every minute counts so try not to stare into nothingness or stand around while your team does something by themselves.

• Be involved.

Don’t stand in the corner or wonder around aimlessly, get involve and offer to help if you think you know what the solution is. Be a productive member! Your friends would be grateful if you contributed actively to the discussion.
