Random Worst Things Escape Room Employees Have Seen (15 items)

• (#7) Night Vision Cameras See What You Do In The Dark

  From CheetahChester: 

  "There's a game where I work that's played completely in darkness. It's a 2-player game that begins with both players separated by a wall. There's a slot in the wall for the players to pass things through to each other... at about waist level. You can see where this is going. 

  A cheeky couple gets locked in and the man almost immediately whips it out and 'passes' it to her side, reassuring her that 'they can't see anything, babe.' We could see everything. The icing on the cake was the booming godly voice we used over the speakers to remind them that even though they couldn't see in the dark, night-vision security cameras are a different story."

   
• (#14) Please Don't Come Prepared

  From TheChokeMaster: 

  "I had a group pull out a tool kit. They unscrewed every furniture to find some combinations. They didn't escape and I made them fix everything, took them about an hour."
• (#11) Hardcore Escape Artists Really Do Exist

  From WitlessWit: 

  "I had a group pre-book several zones in advance for a big group of 10-15 people. They arrived from another city in a limo with matching t-shirts, announcing that they've 'conquered' their city and that they were here to conquer Toronto. This is my go to memory whenever other players ask me if anyone gets really into the escape zones."
• (#6) People Can Forget To Play Pretend

  From IntenseItalian: 

  "In one of our rooms, we have an actor pose as a spy, and the people in the room had to solve a case to figure out who the traitor was. After they finished the puzzles, it turns out the traitor was actually the spy the actor was playing. The spy then pulls an obviously prop gun (orange tip and whatnot), and the group has to defuse a fake bomb. One of the groups that did this room was a police squad that was doing this to bond. When the actor pulled the fake gun and said some cheesy lines, he was promptly tackled and restrained until the cops realized it was all a game."
• (#10) Nudity Is Never The Solution

  From lacinyc: 

  "Locked a couple of guys in the cage and then came back and they'd stripped naked. I just left them to it."
• (#15) Not Everyone Wants To Escape

  From AnArmedPenguin: 

  "Someone cleared all the boxes and locks off of a table in the corner, laid down on it, and went to sleep until the group escaped."
