If you’re new to escape rooms, the idea of being “locked in” a themed space with just 60 minutes to escape can be thrilling — but also a little intimidating. 😅
At Treforest Escape Rooms, we want your first experience to be smooth, exciting, and unforgettable. Here’s how to prepare like a pro. 🧠🔐
🕒 1. Arrive Early
Try to arrive 10–15 minutes before your booking time. This gives you time to relax, hear the safety briefing, and get into the right mindset.
Arriving in a rush? That’s one puzzle you don’t want to solve. 🚪
👟 2. Wear Comfortable Clothes
There’s no running involved, but you may need to bend, crouch, or search behind furniture. Avoid tight clothes or high heels. Think casual, practical, and ready for action.
🧩 3. Don’t Overthink
Escape rooms aren’t about obscure trivia or complicated maths. Most puzzles rely on observation, logic, and teamwork. If something seems too complicated, it probably is. Step back, simplify, and stay cool.
🗣️ 4. Communicate Constantly
Found a key? Say it out loud. Noticed a weird symbol? Tell your team. 🗝️ Escape rooms are full of interlinked clues, and verbal communication is your best tool.
Even if something seems irrelevant — share it. You never know what your teammate just found that connects perfectly with it.
👥 5. Use Your Team Wisely
Split up at first to search efficiently, then regroup and share findings. If someone’s stuck, let someone else try. Fresh eyes = new perspective. 👀
Teamwork is what makes escape rooms magical.
💡 6. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Hints
Pride can keep you trapped. 😅 Our hint system is designed to gently guide you without spoiling the fun. Use it if you’re stuck for too long — it keeps the momentum going and the tension high.
🎭 7. Enjoy the Story
Every room at Treforest Escape Rooms is part of a cinematic world. Whether you’re cracking safes in a high-security vault or uncovering secrets in an art gallery, immerse yourself. Let the room pull you in.
The more you embrace the story, the more unforgettable the experience will be. 🌌
Whether you’re in Cardiff, Pontypridd, or just visiting South Wales, your first escape room should be a thrill — not a stress. Come with curiosity, leave with stories. 🗝️💬
