The Seriously Serious Method Part VII: Team Huddle Time!
Welcome to the penultimate chapter of our comprehensive guide on team communication strategies in the midst of escape room disasters! In this installment, we'll cover the most critical aspect of team survival: the Huddle.
- Define your Huddle Leader: The team member in charge of keeping everyone calm and focused. Must be someone who can recite the entire escape room manual from memory.
- Establish Clear Communication Channels: Designate a central meeting area for the Huddle where everyone can gather and report their findings.
- Use a 3-Step System: Red, Yellow, Green flags to indicate danger levels.
- Maintain a 360° View: Keep an ear on all channels and an eye on all screens.

Example Huddle Scenario:

Team member 2: "I've got a Yellow Flag! The door is stuck, but I think I can pry it open!"
Huddle Leader: "Hold up, Team! We don't want anyone getting hurt. Green Flag, we need a safe route!"
