Strategy
- Communicate! The smartest teams routinely fail when they do not talk to each other. The most puzzle-challenged teams succeed if they possess superior communication skills. There is no more certain path to failure than fully or partially solving a puzzle and having a teammate use their precious time to replicate your work!
- Don’t be afraid to leave something and come back to it later. There are a wide variety of puzzles in our rooms: some big, some small. Some folks excel at certain types of puzzles and not others.
- There are some easy to find clues, there are some hard to find clues. Make sure you search exhaustively.
- Listen to your facilitator! They can provide direction and might drop important hints throughout the experience. The most successful teams make sure to give these highest priority – and share them with their teammates!
