Escape Room Tips & Strategy

Few things can adequately prepare someone for the intensity and excitement of an escape room, but here are a few quick pointers:
- Work together as a team. There's no need to showboat or make conflict with teammates. You're all striving for the common goal of escaping in time.
- Keep an eye on the clock, as time passes very quickly.
- Take advantage of your clues. We try to offer assistance when needed, and inevitably, most groups get stuck on something or another.
- Instead of digging deep into your advanced Calculus knowledge, when you get stumped for 5-10 minutes on a single step, just ask for help. Chances are the solution was something pretty simple that you guys just happened to miss. Trust me, you'll feel a lot better having broken out after using 2 clues than fretting over what went wrong when you refused to ask for help.

Restaurants & Recommendations for Escape Room Night

Solving all those clues can leave you hungry, and that’s why I recommend eating out after your escape room at Breakout Games - Minneapolis. Additionally, this space will provide ample time for you to discuss the finer points of the room or any clues you may have missed, and for general socializing, since you’ll all be focused on the clues while inside the escape room. At Ridgedale Center there are several sit-down options, including Big Bowl Ridgedale, Redstone American Grill, Ruscello, Lakeshore Grill, The Cheesecake Factory, and Kona Grill, amongst several other quick eateries. Just outside the mall, you’ll find Bacio, Tucci Italian, BLVD Kitchen & Bar, Leeann Chin, Panera Bread Company, Breadsmith, Noodles and Company, Kip’s Irish Pub & Restaurant, Bukhara Indian Bistro, and Champps. As you can see, options abound!


We suggest using the entrance near Lens Crafters and Chipotle. Plan to arrive 15-20 minutes prior to your booking to provide time to enter the building.
