David's Great Escape

PUZZLE KINDS:

  1. Numbers and Texts - Basic math puzzles for hints or puzzle solutions. - Equations. - Crosswords and missing-letter puzzles

  2. Physical Puzzles - Undoing knots. - Moving large objects - Easily moved objects.

  3. Light and Sound - light and sound cues - Listen closely to background sound. The ambient noise around you could be giving you important clues! Listen for Morse code through beeps or taps, whispered words, and the direction noises are coming from. - Pay attention to where lights aren’t shining

  4. Hidden Objects Look through books. A book safe, which is created by hollowing out the inside of a large book, is one of the most popular ways an escape room will hide clues. - Leave no drawer unopened. - more than one thing hidden in a place.

  5. Visual Design The room’s design isn’t just for atmospheric effect; common escape room puzzles will almost always be incorporated into the design of the room. Take a close look at baseboards and edges. Is there a suspicious pattern of dashes and dots against the bottom of one of the walls? You could have to translate Morse code that just looks like decorative filler. - anything that seems out of place for the theme.

  6. Logic Puzzles - you’ll need more logic than knowledge to solve common escape room puzzles. - Pay attention to repeated themes. Does the bookshelf have six copies of one book, while the rest of the books are unique? - Take note of mysterious symbols. Codes don’t have to be previously-established to be utilized with common escape room puzzles. Instead, utilize only the clues you’re given.

  7. Combination Puzzles - Common escape room puzzles don’t rely on just one puzzle type. You’ll usually have to combine them! - Keep these different puzzle types at the forefront of your mind. When you know the types of puzzles to look for, it’s easier to put them all together once you’re presented with a combination puzzle. - Don’t be afraid to try multiple options. Maybe the picture you’re looking at has a secret code hidden in it, or the puzzle that you think is an equation is actually a logic puzzle. - You may have to combine more than one puzzle type. If one clue has already utilized visual design and hidden objects, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve reached the solution. Keep trying different strategies.
