We’re going to be looking at what NOT to do in an Escape Room, so you can fully engage and have an excellent time here. We love to give our visitors the opportunity to really enjoy the game and get involved, but sometimes they get too preoccupied by things that could ruin the whole experience for everyone. We’ve tried to counteract this by clearly setting out the do’s and the don’ts from the beginning, this way we know you’ll have a great time when you visit us here at Escape Colchester.
Don’t touch anything that explicitly asks you not to touch
If you see signs which clearly state, ‘don’t touch,’ then that is exactly what it means. We design our rooms and set everything up in a particular way, and we do this, so you’ll get the most out of the game. There’ll be props in the room that have stickers on them and they’ll ask you not to touch. Therefore, it’s probably wise not to, because if you don’t you could damage something, and unfortunately, we’ll have to ask you to pay for it. Therefore, heed the signs and enjoy your time here.
Try your level best not to break the stuff you find in the Escape Rooms.
Please be careful with the items you find in the room while you’re with us. If you break something, we will have to ask you to pay for it. Stay calm and take your time, then you’ll enjoy the experience much more. And you don’t want to be left with a hefty bill to pay – so be gentle.
Souvenirs could lead to costly replacements
Yes, we can replace some things. However, these replacements do run out eventually, and it adds to our costs to keep buying new ones. No matter how tempting it might seem to you in the moment, please don’t, just look at them and handle them as part of the game – but no slipping them into your back pocket.
Don’t turn into a Ranulph Fiennes while you’re in the Escape Room
What we mean by that is – don’t climb over the furniture like you’re on an indoor climbing frame because it’s really not necessary. You could break something so that’s irreparably damaged we’d have to replace whatever it at our own cost. And whatever you do, don’t turn up drunk, because we’ll have to ask you to go straight back out again. We make these rules because they’re there to keep you safe. It also stops us from having to interrupt you and stop the clock – when you could be having a great time without interruption, so don’t spoil the vibe.
