Tips
Attire
You should wear comfortable clothing and footwear.
Spread Out
Unless otherwise stated, everything is pretty much game when it comes to escape rooms. 
Think Outside the Box
This one sounds obvious, but make sure you think of every possible way to solve a puzzle before moving on.
Don't Overcomplicate Things
At the same time, make sure not to overthink simple problems.
Communication
Make sure you communicate with the rest of your team, often time clues to puzzles can be looked over when one person finds it but not the rest of the group.
Stick To Your Strengths
More likely than not, some people on your team are better at searching while others are better at making analytical connections. So make sure everyone sticks to their strengths when it comes to trying to beat the room.
Breathe
When you’re stuck on a puzzle, the best thing you can do is have a level head — impatience usually leads to rushing things and skipping over crucial steps.
