Escape room is the game that has taken the world by storm. It's fun and exciting. And most importantly, it's an experience that involves players of all ages and skill levels. Escape room games transform the world around adventure seekers through an immersive experience. Each room has a specific theme, and players are encouraged to play different characters for a fun experience.

DRAFTING YOUR ESCAPE ROOM TEAM
JUST GATHER YOUR CLOSEST FEW FRIENDS
This is the most common strategy; gather the ones you usually go to the movies or hang out with. While this may feel like the right thing to do, it could also leave your team lacking in some areas. This is the strategy for people who only care a little about winning.
It's okay to experience something with your friends over the thrilling sensation of winning; perhaps you can have both! But for those who really hate the thought of losing, read on to check out more strategies.
THE RANDOMIZATION STRATEGY
This one may or may not be better than the previous method of choosing your closest friends. However, random selection will expel any biased you may have in selecting your teammates and will ensure that the team is comprised of a more diverse skillset and mentality of people. However you want to choose your teammates is up to you, but do keep in mind the following aspects that your team should have for a better shot at winning.
Every group needs a leader. And if you're organizing the event, you are likely the leader. As the leader, you will bring order to your group. You will ensure communication and direct your teammates as they carry out their duties. Make sure you have a booking, and your team is punctual.
Book your escape room at All In Adventures.
But remember, this is a game. The best leaders are non-judgmental and support the team; they always know when and where to lend a hand.
THE HUNTER:
The hunter is responsible for fishing out clues. Once the clock has started, "the hunter" searches every nook and cranny for possible leads. When a clue is found, it should be handed to the leader to be put into the inventory for later use.
The hunter is an essential part of the group. Find your friend with a curious nature, one who loves to explore. They will enjoy the opportunity to be the investigator of the group.
PUZZLE MASTER:
This could be your friend who is good at math. Or maybe, it could be your friend who is a bookworm. In any case, this is the teammate who tends to analyze everything. They will inevitably become one of your puzzle masters. The analyst comes in handy with complex clues. Let the puzzle master sit down with a puzzle and think it through.
Having two Puzzle Masters may not be such a bad idea. This could be your street-smart friend. They never overthink anything; they say it as they see it. The unassuming genius is excellent for quickly solving clues without the headache of overcomplicated critique. Explore how you can couple or divide the efforts of your two puzzle masters. Combining the talents of both book and street smarts.
THE SUPPORT:
This is an essential member of your team. They might not be searching for clues or solving puzzles, but they are there to complement everyone's efforts, like a cheerleader. The support encourages the team when the group is having difficulty finding clues.
This will ensure high morale for your squad throughout the game. Each escape room team will benefit from a supportive teammate who can maintain a good spirit and energize everyone.
THE ORGANIZER:
This is the player in your team who has a knack for organizing. If you have a friend who likes bringing order to chaos, recruit them as your organizer.
In this role, your friend will get to organize and categorize clues. They will bring the game to a system that will clear the way for better thinking and faster solving.
THE JOKER:
You might have a friend who is just there for a laugh. They may want to take advantage to have a good laugh and might not even be sure what an escape room is.
While everyone else tries to solve the puzzle and find clues, the joker will ensure the team stays light-hearted. During an intense 50 minutes escape game, the team needs someone to keep things light; remember that the purpose of playing an escape room game is to have fun!
