What should you wear to an escape room? Next-Gen's Dress Code

As with all things in life, choosing the right attire can make all the difference. I'll quickly explain the best things to wear to escape rooms. While this is not a dress code for all escape rooms, it is for Next-Gen Escape, and it is a good rule-of-thumb for most.

1. Don't wear things that restrict your movement or ability to play the game.

2. It's better to choose options that allow for easy movement.

3. Keep it safe, and in most cases keep it classy.

Choosing the Right Tops:

Opt for tops that allow you to move freely and comfortably. T-shirts, tank tops, and sweatshirts are great choices, providing flexibility for those challenging tasks. Avoid tops with long, loose sleeves or frayed edges that could snag on props or obstacles.

Bottoms for Mobility:

Prioritize bottoms that give you the freedom to crawl, bend, and reach without restriction. Stretchy pants, athletic shorts, or jeans with a comfortable fit are excellent options. Avoid skirts or dresses that might limit your movements during the game.

Footwear for Safety and Comfort:

Your choice of footwear is crucial for both safety and comfort. Close-toed shoes, like sneakers or athletic shoes, offer stability and protect your feet from potential hazards. Flip flops, while comfortable, may not provide the necessary support for some tasks. It's best to avoid open-toed shoes or high heels to prevent any discomfort or accidents.

Cosplay with Caution:

We love your enthusiasm for cosplay! If you plan to dress up for the game, ensure your outfit doesn't obstruct movement or present safety concerns for you, our staff, or other players. Keep accessories minimal and secure to avoid interference during the game.

Conclusion:

At Next-Gen Escape Room, your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities. Dressing smartly with comfortable and appropriate attire will enhance your escape room experience. Opt for tops and bottoms that allow you to move freely, and choose safe, close-toed shoes for a worry-free adventure. Whether you're escaping with friends, family, or colleagues, being dressed for success will make your journey through the puzzles and challenges even more rewarding!
