- 10 tips to dominate any Escape room!
I visited Dr. Scott Nicholson in Brantford, ON Canada since he is the world expert in Escape Room design. After meeting with him for a day here are the 10 tips I came away with to beat any escape room:
1. Think simple
2. Searching
3. Organize your stuff
4. Focus on what is stopping you
5. Team roles
6. Lock types
7. Code types
8. Written clues
9. Look for patterns
10. Your guide is your friend

Seems doubtful. Most all escape rooms prohibit the use of phones and therefore outside help

I don't think you are telling the truth. You can't have a phone in a escape room it says that. Maybe you are being grounded and you locked in your room.

As someone who works at an escape room, I can confirm that all of these tips are valid and EXTREMELY helpful! I already tell customers some of these, but I'll definitely be telling them the rest now!
Another tip I use is to not be afraid to ask for hints. At my job, we give unlimited, so people are usually more willing to ask for help. But even if you're limited and you're really stuck, some times one clue is all you need to continue the room.
I really want to go to one. I have a question please. How many people do I go with? Is there a person who works there in the room with us?
@@cccooper472 it depends on the room. Most of the ones I've done were with 4 or 5 people and it was perfect, but I know about one were you need to have between 8 and 10 participants (that is way less common). Also, in all of the ones I've been to you only see the person working there at the beginning to explain the story and at the end when you escape and they offer you a picture
@@cccooper472 💯
@@anthropomorphicpeanut6160 You are being monitored at all times when in an escape room. There is a reason why there is always a security camera inside the room(s), and that is so that the employees can monitor and offer assistance if needed.
As an escape room enthusiast, I can say that most of these tips will keep you in the room forever. They are only suitable for very basic rooms for beginners.
In normal escape rooms, the puzzles can be much more difficult. Keys, codes, passwords, hints can be found in lamps, in sockets, and in the most unpleasant places. Sometimes locks need to be picked using master keys found.
1. Think simple, a well designed escape room won’t be that complicated
2. Search once you enter the room, but search carefully so you don’t mess things up
3. Organize your stuff, make sure you aren’t redoing clues
4. Focus on stops, you can do this, don’t think otherwise (work backwards and pull back your thinking)
5. Team roles, project manager, and certain people for certain clues
6. Lock types, know which lock is which and which codes they need
7. Code types, make sure you know short and long lines are braille
8. Written clues, look for abnormal patterns in writing
9. Look for patterns, this literally explains itself
10. Your guide is your friend, listen to instructions so you don’t royally mess something up

My wife and I did an escape room for our anniversary. I showed her this video before we went in. All these tips came in handy and we escaped with 2 seconds to spare. The room even had a few red herrings. Huge fan of all your videos. Keep up the great work 👍
3:17 actually one time I went to an escape room the staff were explaining the rules and said a rule which was "the pinky rule" if you could move something with your pinky it was a clue and they mentioned that one time people disassembled the air conditioner thinking it was a clue.

Looking back, I'm so glad I came across this video. My escape room record thus far is 2-1, I barely didn't escape my first room even with the tips but I'm sure w/o them we wouldn't have made it far. Using the tips again and knowing more of what to look for, I and my group were able to break out of 2 rooms. This is a great guide for any newbie who wants to start playing escape rooms with their friends and families and makes the experience really fun.
I had one room that had a difficult (to me) math problem that I couldn’t get. The room master said “PEMDAS!”. I screamed, “I LITERALLY FAILED MATH”

MoonKent I thought that flight looked a bit long.
I was in a room once, that had a home trainer bike in it. Me and my group were convinced something would happen if we would use it, like a light starting to shine or a curtain going up (revealing something). I literally biked for about 15 minutes, but nothing happened. It was just there as a red herring. We did eventually escape the room tho
Final solve for an escape room I did was a number lock. To get the number, we had to solve a math equation, which we found by turning off the lights to the room and shining two different laser pointers at specific angles from two different spots in the room, and the various mirrors create the said math equation. Finding the laser pointers, where to put them, what angle to put them at, all required separate series of puzzles on their own.
Thats sounds really cool, love metapuzzles like that where the answers of the first puzzles feed into a bigger one.
The people in my escape room are still in there a year later. My basement is a tough one I suppose

You’re very considerate for letting them take a long time too figure the puzzle out

I went to an escape room. Found a key and it broke inside the lock. I sat there for 10 minutes before the staff came in and asked me why I wasn't doing anything. They had to get a lock cutter for me to get through to the next part. It was fun

I'm interviewing for a job as a Guide, having never done an Escape Room myself. Training is provided, of course, but we are given immediate raises based on how quickly we learn the rooms.
This is an awesome guide, thank you!! I feel much more prepared going in.
I did an escape room with my cousin who is in the army. Instead of figuring out how to unlock the lock he just picked it and continued lol
That’s one way to do it
What a chad
I will keep that in mind if i ever do a escape room
I mean they don’t say you can’t pick the locks

Just break the rules and they'll kick you out. You escaped!

Escape rooms can get people in fights. Believe me
One time we were in the Escape Room and we needed to unlock a door through some sort of codes using colours. Someone (could be even me) closed that door after making that code correctly and we were stuck in the first room for....30 minutes?
Robin Gillmore that’s nothing rlly funny

@RobinGillmore It happens all the time. Communication is the most important 'key' for escaping.

What great memories!!!

@@dinosadecuadabdwho nkows
LMAO THIS GOT ME WHEEZING
at least you didn't broke their door, i mean u didn't destroy their door.. lol
Thanks. When I design my escape room I will hide essential clues in ceiling lights and power outlets.
sounds expensive to have to replace them every time someone finds the clue
Make sure they get electrocuted when opening them
Just don't be the one room that uses an electrical outlet as a key hole. I seriously don't know where people get the idea to do that but apparently people seem to think that's a reasonable solution.
An escape room that I've done actually had a clue behind a fake power outlet.
Why do people do that? Was it at least hinted at? If not, they are terrible at making rooms
A friend and I did a cool Escape Room which was 3 separate rooms and Sci-Fi themed.
One of the clues involved a star chart, the other was arranging weapons a certain way on a weapons rack and so fourth. You had time limit to get to the final room which was set up like a bridge of a space ship and you had stop it ship from crashing into a planet.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention what in my opinion is the biggest piece of advice: don’t go opening random things for no reason or pulling random things off shelves. It gets messy and hard to keep track of what you really need to do. Instead start by focusing on things you can easily see around the room. Most of the time the first clue will be written on a wall, or there will be an open book or a newspaper, or a stopped clock, something that can give you an idea of what you’re looking for.
i honestly wanna see the lockpicking lawyer do an escape room now, and just pick open every single lock and escape within 5 minutes.
there are a lot of escape rooms that don't use locks for everything

@@savage3659 The one I work in doesn't lock the people in at all, but if the people just leave, they obviously wont get what they paied for and they won't get on the leaderboard, because they didn't complete the objective (which can't be done by picking a lock, with the exception of one of our older games).

Holy smokes, this video was accurate. I've done a few escape rooms before with blah results. But this time, our group studied this video and crushed our difficult room - 2nd-fastest time on record this year! We felt so darn pleased with ourselves :)
So I've done multiple escape rooms, sometimes getting out sometimes not, but after watching this video and applying the tips we did an escape room on NYE 2023 and did better than we ever have!! I made everyone in our group watch this b/c we were doing a harder escape room than last year (NYE tradition) and we made it out with like a minute last time, this room was rated harder and we got out with 15 minutes to spare only using 1 clue. So further proof these are great tips!
This is good and all, but I prefer threatening the guide to tell me everything.
Neat trick!
I do believe that will work, just make sure not to murder them or anything”wink-wink”
Good trick!!

WHERE’S THE VID😢

Andrew Li hey brother
everybody who clicked the video.
I would say that everyone working working on one puzzle can be counter intuitive at times. For example, there may be two different puzzles that have clues scattered around. So if you immediately hone in on one, you may miss clues for the second. In addition, its better to have everyone working on different ones instead of one singular, since then you can come up with solutions for all three in that time instead of one.
Thanks for these tips Mark. It is really important to take a set back from a puzzle sometimes and have someone else look at it especially if you are over complicating things. Yesterday I escaped operation casino at breakout games with just 32 seconds to spare. So fun!
When I did one, they had a clock on the wall that was stopped at 6:10, we later found a watch in a safe, also stopped at that exact time.. we had no idea what it meant and it turns out it didn't mean anything. soo annoying lol
Billy Hammerton oh my god the same thing was at my escape room...
Well except it was a code in the clock that said the same time. Did absolutely nothing
Anyone else click on his time stamp
I did one escape room and they had 3 full shelves of random puzzles and only one meant something
They tried to direct you to Scott Nicholson
Mark: "you wont find clues by disassemble ceiling lights"

I work at my local room, and theyre mixed XD, they make sure you know what to not take apart, but there is at least one room I know of in there so far that does require you to take apart something, which is a dresser XD
Play the zero escape series. It's an amazing story along with great puzzles.
My family lost an escape room yesterday because we got stuck on a combination lock that the answer to a riddle was the lock code and even clues weren't helping us. Turns out we technically had the correct answer the very first time to the riddle but where we are from a different spelling of the word is used. So we lost all that time trying to figure out that code.
I work at an escape room and can not tell you the number of times people fail and get frustrated buy not following those tips. This video is 100% true, accurate and helpful!
They could also just ask for a hint though.
buy? by*
@@eu6744bruh no need to be rude
is this reverse psychology
Yes! I was the only person who had ever done an escape room in my group of 6 last week. They were all obsessed with going suuuuuper deep doing math and periodic table things (it was biohazard theme). I had to keep telling them they would never make puzzles that hard requiring writing out math or remberjng a 20 digit code 😂
"dont dissect a lamp searching for a clue" flashbacks to when one of my teammates dissected the radiator resulting in a flooding of the room and the entire room being shut down for weeks YEET
Turning the tide and making the staff escape is a form of winning in my book
We definitely won, the staff were so ashamed that it had happened so we didn't even have to pay for the room and we got to do any other room for free lmao
Hahahaha xD
On the other hand, I've escaped from a room that had a very realistic but fake power socket...
Lmao!
These are really great tips! I am going to do an escape room soon and I'm sure they will come in handy.
The last lock box you showed is easily pickable through feel. I used them for work and proved to my boss I could figure out any code he chose. We found a different style lock box lol
A tip for finding things an “average” person would know instead of going down rabbit holes: If the knowledge you have had to do with your profession, or is something that only certain groups of people would know, then it’s probably not the answer.
That makes sense, I did one that had to do with coding ( it was for business retreats) and I was like this doesn't seem like a thing, but all the coding people we're excited because it was. So if it's not for coding, it's probably not.
Exactly. I was in a escape room the other day and there was a rubix cube with numbers on certain boxes, when solved it revealed nothing even when put in color order or other kinds of combinations, while other puzzles that could be solved with no experience and with only clues and information found did eventually became a code that had to be translated into numbers which opened a briefcase.
This is usually true. The only exceptions I've found are when you could solve a puzzle without the knowledge, but special knowledge might get you there faster. For example, I went into an Egypt themed room where one of the puzzles was based on the heart weighing ceremony. Not common knowledge, but it helped me know which two things to put on the scales.
So the robber didn't hint at a V because not everybody knows geographic.

I just went to an escape room with some friends and we went to the hardest difficulty room, i thought we wouldnt make it out because we had been there before on a lower difficulty and barely made it out with a lot of clues.
But we got out of this one with 5mins spare and i followed these tips, thanks for the tips :D
I work in an escape room haha. For those of you who get frustrated about the red herrings, the thing is, they might not actually be red herrings. We are trained to make you escape the room so that you are proud of your achievement so sometimes when players take too long to solve some enigmas, we unblock others so that you move along to the end faster so that you are able to finish on time. In the escape room I work at, the rooms are designed not to have any red herrings but if players are not going fast enough, we can skip steps in the game so that they get the satisfaction of having escaped :)
You should be a story telling youtuber
I second this I’ve work in escape rooms for 5 years now, 3 different companies
How unsatisfying to know this....
I think red herrings are often unintentional and in the mind of the player. I've done about 20 rooms, and I've often found myself stuck on a prop that had nothing to do with the puzzle. That said, the prop clearly wasn't designed to be part of the puzzle, so I just read too much into things.
The one i work at, we dont let every group escape because we keep true to our escape rates. But our rules for us GM's is to get them 50% through the game and if there is some free time after their game has ended, we give them 15-30 extra minutes to try to escape the room. If they dont, we help explain things for them.
I went to an escape room where they went through the rules, one of which was “don’t anything in holes in the wall and don’t pull anything out”
One of the puzzles literally involved putting your hand in a hole in the wall and pulling out a wooden plank, which we were stuck on for like 15 mins because we were told not to.
i hate this! this happened to me on my first escape room that i ever did and the first thing we had to try and solve was literally a lock behind the book shelf when we were specifically told to "not mess up the place badly and move any objects out of their original place unless its an actual clue". we were stuck on it for 15 minutes and we were all newbies to this but i was the railing compartment thingy for sliding doors connected to the book shelf but nobody allowed me to move it in fear from the instructions but once we call in for a clue, the staff went "have you seen the book shelf?" so annoying!
That is the clue. It's just one of the ways to give it to players without saying it out directly (well, they did tell you the clue outright, just worded it as if it's forbidden). They are watching you anyway so if you are doing somethings that you're not suppose to do or will mess up their system, they will tell you.
@@neyrrad277 that's just a poor excuse. Dont give "rules" that are meant to be clues and expect people to not just break more rules because you just told them that the rest of the rules are possible clues
@@ace-kz9id Maybe, but we don't know how the clue was given (I meant when in the induction, and in what tone did the keeper deliver them). If it's mixed in the middle of all other real rules, I'd say I agree with you and that's the stupidest clue ever. But if it's given at the very end just before the game started, and was quite out-of-the-blue, then it should ring the bell as it might not be what it seems.
@@neyrrad277 g
This video is great! My older brother loves your videos and told me to watch this video before doing the escape room I was going to do later that day.

Also, I know what you mean about red herrings; 58 was written on a box, and we thought it meant something. But, after we lost and a staff member came in, he said the numbers didn't mean anything lol.

Everyone looking for clues when you suddenly hear a „click out of one, nothing on two, three is binding“
Underrated comment
I was just about to mention LPL in the comments lol
"Don't look anywhere where it isn't logical to search"
Me, in a prisonstyle escape room:
Looks in the toilet, and in the back of it to find an important book.
It's logical to search there. Just not for a book
I know which escape room you're talking about!
Prisonstyle makes it logical, imo
Same
Lol wouldn't the book be wet? Or are you talking opening the tank and finding a book inside?
I like the quote at the end, "no matter what the package says you'll have more fun at half capacity."
Scott’s KRplus channel got me into modern board gaming. What a legend
"No matter what the package says, you'll have a better time at half capacity" but what if the package says that the tent is intended for one person? Sounds painful.
Lol
Then you get a tent for two people
Looks like you beat me to that comment.
Then you use two of those tents as one person
How about a little person using that one? 🤔
Everybody gangsta until a voice in an escape room says *"I wanna play a game"*

"Your guide is Your friend!"
I did the SAW escape room in Las Vegas. It was pretty good, we finished with like 30 seconds left.
This one of the best video that you have done so far. My opinion.
Hey I loved your video and it's made me want to do one. Thanks for the great tips.

*Remembers me disassembling an innocent table lamp*
I actually read a Reddit post about someone doing an Escape Room where the guide said "you don't need to take anything apart to find any clues."
...And then they failed because one of the clues required them to open up (ie, take apart) a flashlight in the room.
I took apart an innocent lamp too! My friends and I still laugh about that lol.
Yeah, the first escape room I did they said "don't mess around with stuff, it should be obvious if it doesn't come apart easily it's not supposed to."
Also "one of our guests once spent ages digging a brick out of a wall - you can still see it, just don't go and do stuff like that".
The FIRST thing in the room was a solid looking wooden block that needed to be taken apart...
Later on we literally had to take a brick out of a wall to get a key... *facepalm*.
That lamp had a family ...... ( T T )
I once dissasembled a whole nightstand doing this
I did an escape room once. It was weird though. I didn't know they put live guards in rooms... The money in the vault was actually real though, and the police chase afterwards was so realistic. They even made it look like my buddy actually got shot! It was awesome
nice....
I did one where we were in a plane wreckage and it started off with the plane crashing and you are basically trying to get out of the plane alive and then send for help.
Sounds so cool!!! I love immersive experiences like that. What escape room was it? It sounds like something me and my friends would enjoy.
@@kirakoraawesome it's called your local bank XD
cool
I LOVE ESCAPE ROOMS! I DON’T KNOW WHY IM SO OBSESSED!
POV: your watching this before you do your first escape room

What about concrete walls hm
a cultured individual. Nice to meet you sir.
Ok I’ll remember that next time

Now I can Help my dad escape the one he’s been in for 5 years thanks
LOL
Did you save him?
haha that's called jail
What’s a dad?

I'm feeling more and more anxious about trying this out tomorrow night as this video continues on😬
this is very helpful. i have an escape room to go to on saturday :)
I have done a few escape rooms and went to one with a couple friends. They decided to take it easy because there was just one room, surely there can't have that many puzzles, right? Well, as I suggested early on, turns out the bookshelf was hiding a second room. We only had 15 minutes left when it opened
Was it a Sherlock Holmes based one as that happened to me found another room ran out of time before figuring anything out
I'm not even sure I've done an escape room without there being multiple rooms in some way. Hidden in a wardrobe, through a second door, and players starting in separate rooms and work into a center one are ones I remember.
@@JondGames what are the chances of finding you in a random comment reply section! Damn am I lucky
I did one and the cork bord slid away revealing a second room
Same! That has happened to me twice. I wish that they would mention to you that there are two parts to the escape room.
Me: never went to any escape room and not planning to
Also me: nice tips
lol me too.
Is a rubric cube that dissolves when you solve it and it gives you a key to a door because your cousin trapped you in the basement?
Yep
I know right now do you even find escape rooms?
Sameee
5:02 - The escape room we did the other night we lost a lot of time because I was certain that the giant clock on the wall that was stuck at 1444 had to be a clue. We made it to the very last puzzle when time ran out.
A giant digital clock stuck on a time? A time with 4 numbers (which is a common amount of numbers to unlock something), yeah that's a bit of a mean red herring to put in. You had reason to believe that could have been a clue.
@@Death-999 It was a giant analog clock, and the time on it was 2:44, I just assumed since it wasn't moving that it was a clue, and that 2:44 in military time was 1444 so that had to be a code. Turns out it was just a clock and the battery had died at 2:44
Another tip: Don't be like the boys I was grouped with on a middle school field trip to an escape room. If you get a sword, don't derail the entire rest of the group by attacking them with it for the final 20 minutes of the allotted time :/

Ah, the most well known monument of Canada, Tim Hortons.
And the best ;)
Was that sarcastic, or..
maybe not the best, but definitely iconic
What about the Wayne Gretzky Parkway? 1:29
No Tim Horton’s is our monument. Nothing else at all.
"Me and my buddies escaped in 38 minutes" Do you remember that he used to work for Nasa?
Nikodem Bartnik that was my first thought when he said his buddies. Like who knew the mars rover team would be good at escape rooms.
escape rooms mostly math
Mars Rover Team.. Mark Rober Team...
I wouldn't say mostly, but math (or visual logic) is a significant portion of it. I've done a few escape rooms in China (they're crazy popular here) without speaking hardly any Chinese, and I'm only useful in about half the puzzles.
"Work the problem!"
EXCELLENT, my friend is turning 60 and wants an escape room for his birthday!!! We will now ROCK!!! Thanks so much.
