What Makes the Best Escape Room Leader?

Every group wants to leave their Breakout Games experience a winner, but what can you and your team do to make this happen? One effective tactic your group could try is assigning a team leader. Let’s take a look at some of the qualities that a good team leader should have to lead their group through a successful escape!

Good leaders don’t just share their ideas, they listen to others’ as well! Identifying someone in your group that enjoys collaborating with others and testing out the variety of ideas that come from everyone is a great way to encourage a successful escape. After all, team work makes the dream work!

A successful team leader knows how to pay attention to the little things, not just the big picture! When people pay close attention to the little details, this can often be the missing piece in a puzzle your team is solving. Finding someone who pays close attention to such things is an awesome way to lead your team to victory. 

Leaders don’t have to know everything, rather, they know when outside help is needed! It should always be remembered that your game master is there to help. In fact, it’s the best part of their job! They are rooting for you and your team, and having someone in your group who knows when to ask for their help can be a great step towards escaping your next Breakout Games experience.

Solving your way to victory can be one of the best parts of playing an escape room. When choosing a leader to help with that, keep in mind that leaders come in all sorts of varieties and often have many more amazing attributes than what we have listed. However, if you’re unsure of where to start when identifying a team leader, or even want to be a leader yourself, these few tips are a great place to start!
