From Seinfield to Golden Girls, the Avengers to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, TV, books and movies have all shown us one thing: activities, parties, and shenanigans are better when you're with friends. Escape rooms are no different. They are much more fun with friends, and at Breakout Games, we guarantee that you will play with the friends you bring with you. In addition to simply being fun, escape the room games can strengthen friendships by bringing people closer through planning strategies, shared discoveries, and a mutual sense of accomplishment.
A big part of breaking out of an escape room involves planning strategies and time management. Friends, who are already used to planning outings and getting together, often excel at these aspects, but these games allow them to practice these skills in a unique manner. This activity is one of the few things that friends can do together to practice their teamwork as they search for clues and put them together to escape. Usually, one friend will emerge as a true leader in the group, but sometimes, multiple leaders will reveal themselves.
A shared sense of discovery can also bind friends together, and in a brand new escape room, friends can explore beautiful, mysterious settings together. There is a sense of wonder that can be shared between friends when someone finds something new or interesting about the room, and the excitement when someone discovers a new clue to share with friends is unbeatable.
Last but not least, nothing compares to the sense of accomplishment they earn when friends play and work together to achieve a common goal. Whether or not your group of friends break out of an escape room, you will solve puzzles together, discover new clues together, and have fun together. With so much to do in each escape room, any group of friends will make memories as they discover solutions and work towards breaking out of each game despite the outcome.
