Hey, thanks for this! I was just discussing going to an escape room with the person I'm dating. I started watching your channel recently with the steampunk video, and these are really fun to watch! Hope to see more.

A tip I always give players is don't stay at a puzzle too long, there is a big chance you need to solve it later and are missing items/information. If groups keep trying a puzzle for too long they can loose a lot of time
