Curiouser and curiouser

So the night continued. We lost the late comers because they had dinner plans and another joined us. The plan was escape room. Many people assume that I have done escape room before because I'm quite into puzzles and the like. However this was actually my first time. I had expectations but also knew that I could easily go bust as this was the point of many of these escape rooms. To no spoil anything I won't go into specifics if you had ever planned on going to the same escape room.

The blindfolding was interesting. But once the blindfolds came off I didn't see why they needed to give us blindfolds. Probably a immersion thing. As we started working out clues I had no idea where to start. I've been known as an overthinker and it didn't help here. Any extra information just made me confused what it was for. Let's just say I found myself pretty useless and didn't manage to help at all to get us out of the first room. However even after didn't work out from the person who got us through how they did it ... apparently guessed their way through ... The second room started no better. I managed to find some clues but were unable to use them. To help with rooms they left QR codes which could be scanned to get extra clues. Got to the point where we used one to find out how to proceed. This was when I was better. The clue didn't give us the answer but it did narrow down what we needed to do. So I was some help here. So onto the third room. As the room numbers increased, so did the number of clues needed. My overthinking helped from this point on. I had information from all the previous rooms but didn't know where they went but because now there was more places to use these clues and some had already been used, we were able to breeze through the last part.

The room had a time limit of 45 minutes. Using clues penalized 5 minutes. Even though we used a clue we kept under the 45 minutes so were pretty happy with the results. Hope to be able to more escape rooms in the future. Maybe not organize them.

Just to end the day here's a picture of me shamelessly promoting to get a free soft serve.
