Escape rooms bring people together in the most intense (and hilarious) ways. Whether you’re an experienced puzzle-solver or a complete newbie, one thing’s for sure — everyone falls into a certain role when the clock starts ticking. ⏱️🧠
Here are the 7 most common types of escape room players. Which one are you? 👀
🧠 1. The Puzzle Master
They live for logic puzzles, love Sudoku, and start decoding the moment they walk in.
Strength: Solves riddles like it’s a hobby.
Weakness: May forget there’s a team with them. 😅
👀 2. The Searcher
While everyone’s staring at clues, they’re flipping cushions, crawling under furniture, and finding hidden keys no one else noticed.
Strength: Has a sixth sense for false panels.
Weakness: May tear the room apart like a whirlwind. 🌀
📋 3. The Organiser
Keeps all found items in one neat pile, tracks what’s been used, and insists on a “clue inventory.”
Strength: Stops the chaos before it starts.
Weakness: May get slightly bossy. 😬
😂 4. The Entertainer
They’re not solving much, but they’re keeping the vibes high. Every red herring is a moment for comic relief.
Strength: Keeps the mood light and the team calm.
Weakness: Occasionally distracts the Puzzle Master.
💡 5. The Overthinker
Reads way too much into everything. “The number on the clock must correspond to the atomic number of zinc, right?”
Strength: Occasionally stumbles into genius.
Weakness: Burns time faster than the countdown.
🧘 6. The Calm One
Quiet, observant, and usually the one who spots the obvious while everyone else is panicking.
Strength: Sees connections no one else does.
Weakness: Might be too chill under pressure. 🫠
🚨 7. The Panicker
As soon as the timer starts, so does the anxiety. “We’re never going to make it!”
Strength: Surprisingly good at motivating the team with sheer urgency.
Weakness: Loud noises and flashing lights = meltdown. 😬
