An escape room is a game of cooperation with other players where you have to solve tasks and puzzles together - therefore, the first and most important rule is not to ruin for your group the game for which you paid a lot of money and enjoy the experience.

So how can you crash the game?
When you start guessing and trying to crack the solution to a puzzle or a lock.

• If you try to pick a lock or the solution to a puzzle in a room, there is a reasonable chance that you will succeed, but you will not understand a very important part of the game and the logic for which you came.
  It's cheaper to buy a lock and try to pick it at home alone, that's not why you came with your friends or family to the game, right?

• So a very important tip is to communicate with your team and agree that everyone will pay attention to themselves during the game and be aware when they are stuck and just start guessing. As soon as this happens, know that this is the stage where you need to stop and try a new line of thought, share your feeling with your team and try to exchange ideas together or switch tasks in the room - maybe you will do better with a different task or puzzle. And don't worry! If you're really stuck, you'll eventually get a hint.

• We'll tell you another little secret... once you just try to guess in order to hack and succeed in this method in order to advance and impress your team, maybe they were impressed by you at that moment but your operator knew the truth about what happened and sometimes they will also have to intervene in the game or tell you at the end of the room What did you miss and didn't understand and then here you will feel guilty and unpleasant towards your team. So don't be clever with the room or the operators!

• In addition, most escape rooms use electromagnetic locks - that is why the use of force is prohibited in all escape rooms. The reasons for this are not only to maintain the integrity of the room (broke? You paid!), but also to not ruin the game for you.
  Once you are on the right path and solve the relevant puzzle, the electromagnet will release itself and open what you needed. If you try to bypass the puzzle or task by using force - you will skip puzzles and tasks and even an entire room, which may confuse the logic of the game, force the operators to intervene in your game and wake you up - and this is never fun and pleasant, neither for you nor for the operators. So don't be clever with the room and the operators!
