When going on a first date it is important to show your date a good time and allow him or her to get to know you. Rather than sitting through a movie where you do not get to talk to one another, consider taking your date to try an escape room event. Escape rooms are popping up everywhere and allow you and your date to be able to use your deductive reasoning to get out of the room. The following guide walks you through a few things to know about going to an escape room event:

The Timeline May be More Fluid Than You Think

When you go to an escape room event, it is important to know that the people who are going through it before you may need more or less time to escape from the room. Be flexible with your timeline and arrive a few minutes early so that you and your date can fill out any necessary paperwork before you go into the room. It is important to make sure that your date is not claustrophobic at this time so that you do not pay to go into the room only to find that he or she has to leave immediately because they do not like being in small spaces.

There Will Sometimes be Other People in the Room with You

When you go into an escape room, there are times when numerous people will go into the room at once. This means that you will have to work as a team with the other people in the room to try to get out of the room. The person running the event will often pick a captain to be in charge of the group before the experience begins. If you are comfortable being a leader, volunteer for the position to show your date that you have great leadership skills.

Some of the Rooms Can Be Scary in Nature

It is important to know that some of the escape room experiences are designed to be a bit scary. If you are fearful that you or your date may become too overwhelmed with fear during the experience, you may want to choose a room that is not designed to be fearful. You want to be sure that both you and your date are as comfortable as possible at all times.

It is important to use the restroom before you go into the room. If you have to leave the room for any reason, you will forfeit the game. Going to the restroom beforehand will better the chances of you and your date being able to solve the mystery and escape from the room.
