Let's Break It Down! 🎉🗝️

You're locked in. The clock's ticking. And everyone's looking around like, "Uh, now what?" Don't fret. Knowing where to start in an escape room can set the tone for the rest of the game.

Step 1: Get Acquainted 🕵️‍♀️🔍

Check out the room's theme and setting. Sometimes, the room's story can offer clues for the challenges ahead. Take a moment to soak it all in.

Step 2: Team Huddle 🤝📢

Gather your team for a quick strategy chat. Divide and conquer can work wonders. Assign roles based on skills: searcher, code-breaker, or puzzle solver.

Stuck? No shame in asking for a hint. That's what your Gamemaster's there for. Just remember, the clock doesn't pause while you ponder.

Step 6: Keep Communication Open 👥🗨️

Communication is key. Always. Share your findings and thoughts. The faster you share, the quicker you solve.
