Escape Rooms
One hour, one locked room, and the clues spread across everyone's hands
You pay per session, and a team of three to six gets locked in a themed room with sixty minutes to find clues, crack locks and open the next door. Nobody plays a character; it is all searching and splitting the work. New teams usually lose because nobody says aloud what they have found. Pick a beginner-rated room, and ask for hints.
First stepBook a beginner-rated room with three or four friends, agree to say every find out loud, and try to get out inside sixty minutes.
