After locking in 27,000 players, we’ve watched every kind of crew succeed and fail. The teams that escape rarely have the highest IQ — they have the best habits.
- Say everything out loud. The clue you ignore is the one your teammate needed.
- Make one person the “lock keeper” who tracks what’s open and what’s left.
- Try the obvious combination first. Designers hide things in plain sight.
- Separate found-but-unused items from used ones. Two piles, always.
- Ask for a hint at two minutes of being stuck — not ten. Pride loses games.
Do these five things and your escape rate roughly doubles. We’ve got the leaderboard to prove it.
