Written by: Claire Adams, Lock Paper Scissors // Guest Writer Escape rooms are becoming increasingly popular as a fun way to spend time with friends or family. They are also a great way to challenge yourself and test your problem-solving skills. In an escape room, players are locked in a room and must use their wit and intelligence to solve puzzles and find clues that will help them escape the room within a certain time limit. One of the most important elements of an escape room is the locks. Locks can be tricky and may seem impossible to open at first, but they can be unlocked with a little patience and perseverance! So, what are the different types of locks, and how do you open them? The Most Common Types of Locks In An Escape Room Game There are different types of locks that you may come across in an escape room. Here are some of them: 1. Padlocks Padlocks are one of the most common types of locks in escape rooms. They are often used to secure chests or doors. To open a padlock, you must insert the key into the lock and turn it to the right until it opens. Pro-Tip: The keys to padlocks are usually not magnetic, so if you are using a magnet to try and open the lock, it will not work! 2. Numerical Locks Numerical locks can be opened by inputting the correct code into the keypad. The code can be anything from a simple three or four-digit code to a more complex combination of numbers and symbols. To crack the code, you must use your logic and problem-solving skills to figure out what the code is. Pro-Tip: Pay attention to any clues given to you in the room, as they may help you crack the code! 3. Word Locks Word locks are similar to numerical locks, but they use words or phrases instead of numbers. You must input the correct word or phrase into the keypad to open a word lock. As with numerical locks, clues may be given to help you solve the puzzle. Pro-Tip: Try thinking of synonyms for the given clues, as they may help you unlock the lock! 4. Directional Locks Directional locks are less common than the other types of locks and can be tricky to operate. These locks are opened by inputting a series of left, right, up, and down "clicks"; into the keypad. There is no limit to how long a directional lock code can be, so it can be difficult to start again if you lose your place. Pro-Tip: Directional locks will usually be given in an up/down/left/right fashion or north/south/east/west. Pay attention to the clues given, as they may help you crack the code! 5. Combination Locks Combination locks are the ones that you usually see on high school lockers. They require a three-number code to open, and they have to be spun in the correct direction when you input each number. Another important aspect of opening combination padlocks is making sure that the arrow is perfectly lined up with the dash and that you have the correct dash corresponding with the correct number. If you get the code incorrect on the first try, remember to reset the escape game lock completely by twirling the combination wheel to the right for three whole rotations. Pro-Tip: The numbers on a combination lock will usually be between 0 and 39. Pay attention to any clues given, as they may help you figure out the code! 6. Diversion Locks Diversion locks are one of the most common types of locks in escape rooms. They are often disguised as something else in the room, such as a book, a rock, or a lamp. The key to opening a diversion lock is usually hidden somewhere in the room, so it is important to look carefully! Once you have found the key, insert it into the lock and turn it to the right until it opens. Pro-Tip: The keys to diversion locks are usually not magnetic, so if you are using a magnet to try and open the lock, it will not work! 7. Cryptex Locks Cryptex locks are one of the most popular types of locks in escape rooms. They are often used in rooms with an old-fashioned theme because they really fit the aesthetic. Cryptex locks have 5-6 rings with the full alphabet on them. Players often need to solve several puzzles to figure out exactly which word will unlock the Cryptex. Pro-Tip: The key to a Cryptex lock is usually a word or phrase. Pay attention to any clues given, as they may help you figure out the code! 8. Magnetic Cabinet Locks Magnetic cabinet locks are usually found on cabinets, drawers, or doors. They are opened by inputting the correct code into the keypad. The code can be anything from a simple four-digit code to a more complex combination of numbers and symbols. To crack the code, you must use your logic and problem-solving skills to figure out what the code is. Pro-Tip: The key to a magnetic cabinet lock is usually a combination of numbers and symbols. Resetting The Lock Once you have unlocked the lock, it is important to reset it so that the next player can have a chance to play. To reset the lock, simply input the wrong code into the keypad. This will cause the lock to reset and be ready for the next player. Pro-Tip: If you are having trouble resetting the lock, try looking for a manual override button. This button will usually be located near the keypad. We believe that you are now fully equipped to take on any escape room challenge that comes your way with these tips! Good luck and have fun!

Last year was really rough for the escape room industry and a lot of companies were forced to either shut down or get creative and adapt. With that said, a lot of different types of games were developed to keep their companies afloat. One of those types of games that emerged back in March, 2020 was "Remote Escape Rooms" which essentially is an escape room played with a real life avatar performing actions that you would normally request inside the room. Basically, they're your eyes and hands being controlled by you over Zoom (or other integrated video streaming software programs). Since the pandemic, companies in certain parts of the world have had to re-open and close repeatedly. Sadly, we had to cancel our Europe, Bermuda, and Asia "Escape Room Tours" last year as we were super excited to add those companies & games onto our list! For 2021, we managed to schedule the following tour(s) (more will be added pending on the state of the world) and we are proud to launch our first episode from our new series - "Escape Down Memory Lane - Room 213" at Escape Room Herndon!

We are so excited to be featured on the front page of the January 27th issue of "The Progress-Index". The Progress-Index is a daily newspaper published in Petersburg, Virginia. The paper's roots trace to 1865, but its current moniker came about through the early-1920s merger of the Index-Appeal and the Evening Progress. The writer of the article Kristi K. Higgins , perfectly captured and highlighted our VA escape room experiences. In the article, she also interviewed the owners of the three locations we've visited which are Room ESC, Gnome & Raven, and The Escape Adventures . There was one other location we didn't get to visit last time but will have to return one day to Escape Old Towne. If the above image is too difficult to read, you can also go to this website HERE (you will need to subscribe for $1 to read the article). We like to thank The Progress-Index and Kristi Higgins for giving us and the escape room industry this great coverage and we love to let more people know what they are and play and be addicted to them like we do. Our current room count has updated to 659 and we will definitely not slow down! #CiciCao #escaperoom #escapetheroomers #inthenews

A Most Puzzling Interview with... Stephen Lockyer By Brent Price (and interviewing Stephen Lockyer) Stephen is one half of Escapages, and 100% of Enigmailed. He is obsessed with portmanteaus (like Enigmailed and Escapages) and finds them an easy way for someone to understand what you are going on about! Please note: We conducted this interview through Facebook Messenger in late 2021 over the course of several weeks and this has been cleaned up for clarity and consistency and approved by Stephen. Brent: Welcome, and thanks for agreeing to this interview! Through this process we want to get to know you a little better, learn about your games, your influences, lessons learned, and maybe some hints of some future projects! So, with that, why don’t you first tell us a little about yourself and what got you interested in creating games in the first place? Stephen: My name is Stephen, and I am a UK based puzzle maker and designer. I started making games around three years ago, as a way of directing my various interests and imaginations. I've always played games, and have a very active imagination. I have four children, and have passed on my love of puzzles and word play with them - we regularly and subconsciously use spoonerisms and portmanteau phrasing for things. I love the variety of games which have come out this past year or so, and have a growing back catalogue of games to play myself! (I review tabletop puzzles at https://igot99puzzles.com) Brent: It is great to see your love of these games passing down to the next generation at an early age! What were the earliest mystery puzzle games you played that you fell in love with? Stephen: There was a book I was given with puzzles in when I was about seven or eight. I remember it being Christmas, and the puzzles being a combination of maps and ciphers - I'm fairly sure there was an Aztec theme to them, and you had to write in the book. I remember this distinctly as I had a lozenge eraser that Christmas too (look them up, they are the best type or rubber). I was already a bibliophile then, and with puzzles TOO‽ I loved that book. No idea what it was called, and I can't find it now, sadly. [Editor's note: together we tracked it down and the game was Agent Arthur’s Jungle Journey by Martin Oliver] Brent: What modern mystery puzzle games did you play before you got the idea to start creating your own? Stephen: "Journal 29" was my gateway into the fact that people liked the puzzles and ciphers I had been tinkering with for years. Brent: After learning about that type of modern game and being inspired, walk me through your first game idea you wanted to make, regardless of if you actually made it. Stephen: It was for an escape room. An interrogation suite. One of the team is cuffed in the interview room, the rest of the team behind a one way mirror. Both need to escape within one hour. (Note to self - I need to make this!!!) Brent: I love outside the box ideas like that! What is the game that had the most outside the box surprises for you? (No spoilers). And did it inspire any ideas in your games? Stephen: I think the one that most took me on a journey in that sense was "BoxOne". I’ve talked before elsewhere on my own podcast about that experience, where I was excited for the hype, disappointed when it arrived; started playing it out of some frustrated obligation–then BOOM! It was like the shape of a bathtub - high, low, high. The most clever thing about Box One I think is the Itch - you are itching to tell people about it, but you can’t say WHY it is so good. Honestly, speaking to others about it feels kinda cathartic. Brent: When you first decided to become a creator and actually try to sell a game, what gave you the confidence and what research did you do as you approached that project? Stephen: I have published books before and written for years, so I felt I had the confidence and skills to have a printed puzzle book. My ambition each time for each project has grown. Walt Disney called it imagineering - imagining something fantastic, then engineering it into existence. I love that! Brent: What were the biggest early mistakes you made or unexpected challenges you had and how did you overcome them in future projects? Stephen: Play-testing! I needed to play test far, far more than I did! I’ve got it streamlined now! Brent: On the other side, what do you feel is your greatest puzzle achievement (spoiler free)? Stephen: Flatpak is the most beautiful, I think. Full Deck has a crazy level of depth that I think only a few have got near (but was emotionally exhausting to write). I’m most proud of either Undeliverable - especially the map card, or Pouroboros, where each puzzle has largely been designed around its answer (hard to explain, but easy to understand once played). Brent: If you could go back and change anything about one of your projects, what would you change? Stephen: BIG QUESTION! More time on Flatpak. I love it, but it was created with a much leaner timeline than was comfortable. Brent: That has to be one of the greatest looking puzzle books! Any plans on a sequel either direct or thematically? Stephen: Matt and I have talked about a future book which is [Redacted]… Brent: That sounds amazing! What does your playtesting process look like? Do you playtest each puzzle with people, or wait for a larger experience? Does it vary? Stephen: I have a brilliant group of play-testers and then my silver bullet. First I give the puzzles to the play-testers without hints and record where they ask for nudges and look at the mistakes they make. The final test, the silver bullet, is my Mum! She doesn’t hold back! Brent: Gotta love mom’s! What is the one game you played where you wish you had come up with a key puzzle in it? And what about it (spoiler free) made you fall in love with it? Stephen: I'm a total sucker for handheld magical Aha moments where you solve a puzzle, whose answer is an instruction to do x to y. You carry out the instruction and something unexpected occurs. The best commercial example of this which I still think about is a part of SOUP, where you [spoiler-redacted] and [spoiler-redacted] appears. It’s just a JOY! Brent: Thank you for joining us with this interview! Do you have any upcoming or current projects you are raving to tell everyone about we could mention here? Stephen: I’ll leave with some hidden code words as a puzzle: what connects these: ANATOMAP, NOTABLE REMAINS, (BOUND), MANIFEST Brent: Thanks for that mysterious wrap-up! We look forward to your next projects!

It's happening againnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! For anyone who missed out on ER Champ last year, be sure to sign up NOW! ER Champ is a FREE competition organized and designed by our friends at lock.me (Fun fact: they are also the creators of Escape Tales!) Their main goal is to promote the escape room industry and provide entertainment to people from all over the world. Originally, the event was staged in real life escape rooms located in Poland but due to the pandemic the format has converted to online. All the games will be presented in a point-n-click format. You can join as a team of 2 - 4 players where one player will act as the captain. There'll be 3 rounds before the winners will be announced (prizes to be determined): 09/18/2021 16:00 UTC - Stress test - test of the elimination system 11/13/2021 16:00 UTC - Elimination stage - a point and click game 11/27/2021 16:00 UTC - Grand Finale - top 100 teams will compete for the title of the champions If you get into the top 100, you'll get an invite from them to join a secret FB page group but for now you can just subscribe to their main page for updates. Time and hints used will be calculated into your final score. During each round, you will see live updates on each team's performance on their Facebook. The final result will be published later after verification in case of any cheating. This is our second year being their media patron and we are super eager to see what they've created! This year, for the first time, all stages of the championship will be connected as one story. You will follow the story of the disappearance of Ethan Rosenberg. As a part of the stress test, you will appear as a team of detectives to investigate this strange case. The plot will develop during next stages, and the crime story that we are preparing for you will have many plot twists as well as interesting (and demanding) puzzles. I hope that we will see YOU at the event this year because... #CiciCao #Articles #Events #EscapeRoomChampion #FreeEvent #Team #EscapeRooms #LockMe

The photo above was provide by Cold Case Crackers Company: Cold Case Crackers Game: Fairlake Heist Case Country: USA 🇺🇸 Language: English Type of Game: Puzzles By Mail 📬 Genre: Mystery Date Played: 5/11/2021 Difficulty (based on 2 players): 4/10 Size of Team: Unlimited (Recommended 1-6 Players) Time: Unlimited (Approx. 60-90 Min) Price: $29.99 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 In January of 2005, the Broadway Savings and Loan Bank was robbed by three armed perpetrators. They stole over 2 million dollars and fled the scene. Although there were 5 suspects, the police did not have enough evidence to arrest anyone and the case went cold. A year and a half later, new information arose when they arrested a criminal who was trafficking these stolen goods. This time with your help, they are determined to catch the culprit. 🆃🅷🅴 ❞🅻🅾🅾🅺🆂❞ "Fairlake Heist Case" came in a large brown envelope. Inside you'll find two folders (rules/game play and evidence) and 4 sealed numbered envelopes with the word "phase" on them. 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 In the rules and game play folder, you'll receive a backstory letter along with a website link to enter solutions and to receive tips. If you don't want to read the backstory, there's also an audio intro on their website from the detective. We read through all the evidence before opening the phase 1 envelope. For us, it felt like it was a smart choice. When we opened the phase 1 envelope, we already knew most of the information and was able to connect the new resources with the old ones. As we solved the puzzles, it was very clear which answer was the right choices. I suppose you can also open phase 1 envelope first and start solving the puzzles first but eventually you'll still have to go back to the evidence folder. Each phase had a question that we had to answer. Once we input the right answer into the website portal, we were allowed to go onto the next phase. The game play was quite smooth so we didn't have to use any hints. Since we divided the reading material and combined our notes, our game took about an hour to complete. 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 The puzzles were quite easy. A lot of them were merely sleuthing for clues from the paper documents. There was one cipher that had clear instructions on what we needed to do to solve it. The game was more concentrated on narrative and finding the correlations between each character and their alibis. I liked the feeling of stepping into the shoes of a detective as I organized the different suspects per their photo, interview, fingerprint and other information as they surfaced. It was like creating those link charts that I have seen in shows like Criminal Minds or CSI. 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 I love these types of investigative games especially ones with narratives between various characters. It's great that a lot of photos were provided for locations, items, people throughout the game as it made us the realness and the close connection with the storyline. It's always a fun time when Brandon and I could turn ourselves into a character in the story after reading about their personalities. We had a blast taking turns being the suspect and the detective. The final reveal is always great when you can say: "Oh so that's why or I knew it!" Cold Case Crackers was able to give us these reactions and we look forward to cracking more cold cases with them! Check out our interview with the creators to understand more on the development side of these game: (If you do decide to try this game, give us a shoutout or tag us on social media so we know you heard it from "ESCAPETHEROOMers"!) Disclosure: We thank Cold Case Crackers for providing us with a sample of their game. Although a complimentary experience was generously provided, it does not impact our opinion on the review whatsoever. #ESCAPETHEROOMers #AtHomeGames #EscapeRooms #ColdCaseCrackers #FairlakeHeistCase #PuzzlesByMail #Detective #CaseFiles #Heist #Mystery #Clue #DIY #Decipher #csi #criminialminds #heist

This is our first Escape Room Conference that we've ever attended. This year's Transworld Room Escape Conference was held in San Antonio, TX. The conference provided seminars, workshops, escape room tours and other activities. This was a two day event but due to our own escape room tour we only had a few hours at this event. There weren't that many vendors here so we're able to see pretty much everything. Check out our YouTube video for a summary coverage of some of the vendors we saw at the event. We are very excited for the 2020 event in St.Louis, MO this year (March 19-20) as they will combining all three shows (Halloween & Attractions Show, Christmas Show and Escape Room Conference) in ONE! #CiciCao #Articles #Events #escaperooms #escaperoom #conference #escaperoomconference #transworld #transworldconference #sanantonio #texas #stlouis #mo #transworld2020 #seminars #tours #escaperoomtours

We were invite by the the Hado USA team to join them at their premiere event at Player Omega. Player Omega was at The Fairplex center in Pomona, California this year. Thousands of people attended the event. Player Omega is an immersive, fully participatory experience with tournaments, open game play, cosplay, panel discussions, art installations, and more! Competitors can battle through the open-bracket tournaments to win a share of prize pools up to $10k. HADO™ is the first augmented reality sport that allows players to run freely within player v player, 2v2 or 3v3 arena battles. We tried the sport at the event and it felt like we're Dragon Ball Z characters playing Dodge Ball. It definitely can work up a sweat. If you don't exercise much like Brandon, you'll give up after one game. I was at least able to play two games straight but at the end of it, I was out of breath. It's a great concept to get the gamers to get up and do some exercises after a long day of sitting at the computers. Here's a list of happenings at the event from Player Omega: EXPERIENCES Super League Gaming: FORTNITE, Minecraft, and League of Legends National Championship Series (Powered by Nerd Street): CS:GO and Apex Legends Collegiate Starleague: Street Fighter V Genesis: Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Melee Subnation Station: live programming Electronic Gaming Federation (EGF): high school tournaments pitch/OMEGA: pitch your startup for a shot at receiving seed funding up to $100k cosplay/OMEGA: express your fandom for a chance to win cash prizes & more!

On December 9th, we were joined by the NBC CT Live reporters (Taylor Kinzler & Jimmy Marlow) to try to escape Escape Rooms Connecticut's newest room "The Asylum". We were very happy to spread our love for escape rooms and to be able to do it at one of our favorite locations was a cherry on top! Most importantly, the team really enjoyed it and we escaped with time still left on the clock! We hope to join them again for another escape room adventure soon!

We are latecomers to the escape room world. We started playing escape rooms towards the end of 2018. Since then it was like an infectious disease (we call it “Escapitis”). In about a year’s time, we’ve played about 350 escape games at 221 different companies. Our mission to find a cure has taken us to 16 different countries, 12 US states and even on a cruise ship! Throughout this journey we realized that thousands of people have been infected with the same disease and we are not alone! We are happy to report that we’re no longer searching for a cure, but have become “carriers” to spread the disease instead. We were especially excited to cover events such as the 2019 TRANSWORLD ROOM ESCAPE Conference in San Antonio, Texas, 3rd Annual UK Escape Room Industry Conference (ERIC 2019) in London, UK, and PLAYER OMEGA feat. HADO- the world's 1st series (AR) sports in the USA. The most exciting moment for us, was playing with NBC's "CT LIVE" team! Thank you for your support and we just wanted to say that we appreciate each and every one of you! This list of winners is longer than normal as we did not have an award system for 2018. However, we still included some of them on the list as we felt that they deserved to be mentioned. Please keep in mind that these ratings are based on our opinions only and you may view them differently. It was a very difficult process for us as the industry is evolving every day and so are we. This is why we have discontinued our rating system since Nov 1st, 2019. We simply can not rerate a room that we’ve played a year ago just because there are more amazing ones today. With that said, these rooms are what we felt delivered us a “complete immersive package” from set design to puzzles to added-on special effects. CONGRATULATIONS!! These are the winners of our “BEST OVERALL" Bullseye Award category (In alphabetical order): 13th Hour Escape (NJ, USA) - "The Trophy Room" Chambers Escape Games (HI, USA) - "The Temple" Encrypted Escape Room WR (PA, USA) - "The Last Vampire" Escape Quest DC (MD, USA) - "Expedition Unknown" Escape Room Herndon (VA, USA) - "8-Bit Escape" Escape The Room LA (CA, USA) - "Cartman's Escape Room" Locked in Edinburgh (Edinburgh, UK) - "The Cutting Room" Lost Games (NV, USA) - "Chapter 2: Playtime" Mission Escape Games (CA, USA) - "The Ultimate Bank Heist" Mystique Room (Budapest, Hungary) - "The Time Machine" The Escape Game (TX, USA) - "Gold Rush" trap't Escape Room Adventures (CT, USA) - "Time Chasers: Race for the Cure" Trapped!
