Other Notable Escape Room Mechanics

Because You Clearly Enjoy the Thrill of Possibly Dying in a Windowless Room

Here's a list of other escape room mechanics that are almost as exciting as the ones you're used to, but slightly worse.

Physics-Based Puzzles

• Press the button to open the door, which will inevitably lock again, trapping you in the room.
• Try to balance on one foot while the other room occupants are trying to solve the same thing on their own, because teamwork is overrated
• Use the provided 10mg of dust to fix the 10kg of gears in the 10-year-old clock, because precision engineering is a thing of the past

Mechanical Puzzles

• Solve the cryptic message on the chalkboard that only makes sense to someone who's been in an asylum for 10 years
• Use the provided 20mm of WD-40 to fix the 20cm of stuck machinery, because oiling it up will surely fix everything
• Clean the dust off the laser beam, which will then magically fix itself, because that's not a thing that's ever happened before

Other Puzzles

• Try to remember the combination to the safe, but it's been changed 5 times already, and you're not exactly sure what it was
• Count down from 10, 9, 8... while the room starts to fill with water, because that's just good old-fashioned fun
• Solve the mirror puzzle, which will only work on Tuesdays, because the mirror is clearly possessed

If you've made it out of this room, you deserve a cookie. If you haven't, well, you're probably stuck in here forever.
