(#4) Don’t Have 'Too Many Cooks'
If a room has an eight-person maximum, keep your group between four or six players. Pricing is per player, not per room, so it won’t do you any good to pack the room.
Fewer players allow for each person to be more actively involved, and makes it easier to keep tabs on everyone.

(#11) Look For Patterns
If you notice a pattern, you’re probably on the right track. Stick with it!
Good escape rooms will have puzzles that tie into the theme of the room. If the puzzles are primarily word- or numbers-based, search every corner for more objects that contain these attributes. Look for hollow objects or solid objects that are similarly shaped or themed.
Finally, noises and lights can be incredibly revealing. Is there a corner or area of the room that's darker than the rest? Something may be hiding there. Do you hear sound effects, music, or ambient noise running in the background? It may contain a clue as well.

(#10) Use Objects In Unexpected Ways
Many things are not as they appear in an escape room. Get creative and think out of the box.
Perhaps you can use one item to reach another. Partner things you wouldn’t expect. There may be a surprise magnetic pairing or a trap door that’s triggered. Try everything, and let your curiosity guide you.

(#1) Know Your Lighting Options
If you ever find a flashlight, take it with you. You will likely need it later.
Check to see if you have the option to turn off the lights in the room. If you do, let everyone in the room know, then turn the lights off for a few seconds. Is anything glow-in-the-dark? If not, flip the lights back on and keep searching.
If you find a blacklight at any point, flip the lights again.

(#3) Appoint A Project Manager
Every group of friends has an organizer. Put those skills to use! A project manager will keep your game running smoothly.
This person should not work on puzzles but, instead, be aware of what there is to figure out, what has already been completed, and who is working on what. The project manager will keep an eye on time and keep morale high.

(#15) Listen To Everyone - Even Kids
Anyone in a room could see something everybody else has missed. Don’t write anyone off. Children think differently than adults. The more diversity of thought in your team, the better.
The simple explanation is often the right one, and adults have a tendency to overcomplicate things. Everyone’s ideas are valid in an escape room. Forget that at your own peril!
