Organization Tips

Choose a Story that Everyone Will Like. Or Split Into Groups

When selecting an escape room for a large group, many factors must be considered to ensure that everyone enjoys themselves. First, choose a theme that will excite and engage everyone. This can be tricky since different people have different tastes. Still, you can usually find a theme that will appeal to most of your group. Once you have chosen a theme, you should decide whether to play together or in smaller teams. Playing together can be a lot of fun. Still, it can also be challenging for everyone to work on the same puzzle simultaneously. That's where specialized rooms come in. Many escape room locations offer multiple smaller rooms with the same theme, allowing your group to split into smaller teams. This can make the experience more enjoyable for everyone since each team can focus on solving a different puzzle. Alternatively, specialized rooms designed for six, twelve, or even eighteen players can provide a larger space with more clues and puzzles to solve. This ensures that nobody ends up standing around doing nothing and that everyone has a chance to contribute to the group's success. Overall, taking the time to consider these factors before booking an escape room for your large group can lead to a more enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone involved.

Choose Roles to Use the Strengths of Each Participant

When organizing a large group for an escape room, assigning specific roles to each participant beforehand can be helpful to ensure more effective play. Some key roles include the "leader," who guides the group and assigns tasks. The "searcher" looks for clues and puzzles, and the "organizer" puts the clues together in an orderly fashion to find patterns. In larger groups, it may be beneficial to have multiple searchers. However, it is important to remember that not every individual may fulfill their role effectively, so assigning a "backup" person might be necessary for each position. It is also important to consider the group dynamics and adjust the roles accordingly. For example, suppose a person is particularly good at solving puzzles. In that case, having them take on the "organizer" role might be a good idea, even if that wasn't their original designation. Finally, it's important to note that the success of an escape room experience doesn't necessarily depend on the assigned roles but rather on the cooperation and communication between the participants. Therefore, everyone needs to be flexible and willing to adapt to different situations that may arise during the game.

Organize a Rest Area with Food and Entertainment

When planning an escape room adventure for a large group, it's important to consider the needs of your participants. One way to ensure a successful event is to organize a rest area with food and entertainment. At Questroom, we offer catering options that can be added to your booking, including snacks, drinks, and even a full meal. We also have a lounge area where your group can relax and unwind before or after the game. This is a great opportunity to debrief, discuss the game, and enjoy quality time with your friends, family, or coworkers. Contact us for more information on catering options!

Don't Forget to Take a Memorable Photo Together

Another great tip for your escape room adventure is to take a memorable photo together at the end of the game. At Questroom, we take photos after every game, and we can even take a big group photo if you bring a large group and split it into multiple games. This is a fun way to commemorate your experience and make lasting memories with your friends, family, or coworkers.

Number of People VS Number of Rooms

If you're planning an escape room adventure for a large group, there are several factors to consider. One important factor is the capacity of the available rooms. Most escape rooms have listed capacities, which can help determine how many rooms you'll need to book for your party size. It's also important to consider the complexity of the rooms, as more complex rooms may take longer to complete. It could potentially slow down the group's progress. Another factor to consider is the difficulty level of the rooms. If you have a mix of experienced and inexperienced players, choosing rooms with varying difficulty levels may be best to accommodate everyone's skill levels.

When selecting escape rooms for big groups, it's important to communicate with the escape room staff to ensure a smooth experience. If you're unsure how to proceed, you can email the escape room, and a manager will assist you with your options. They may be able to provide recommendations based on your group size, skill level, and interests.
