How to Choose the Right Escape Room for Your Group

With so many escape room options available, choosing the right one for your group can feel overwhelming. Should you go for the scary room or the adventure theme? What difficulty level is right for beginners? Let’s break it down.

Consider Your Group’s Experience Level

If most of your group has never done an escape room, start with a beginner or intermediate difficulty. There’s nothing worse than getting frustrated in your first experience. Save the expert-level rooms for when you’ve got a few escapes under your belt.

Think About Themes and Comfort Levels

Escape rooms come in all flavors – from spooky haunted houses to whimsical adventures to high-tech heist scenarios. Make sure everyone in your group is comfortable with the theme. Not everyone enjoys being scared!

Check the Player Count

Each room has a minimum and maximum player count for a reason. Too few players might make the room overwhelming, while too many can mean some people don’t get to participate as much. Aim for the sweet spot – usually around 4-6 players for most rooms.

Read the Room Description Carefully

Pay attention to what skills the room emphasizes. Some rooms focus on logic puzzles, others on physical searching, and some require good observation skills. Choose based on your group’s strengths!

Consider the Duration

Most escape rooms run 60 minutes, but some offer 45 or 90-minute experiences. Think about how much time you want to spend and plan accordingly.
