Fortress Building Panic Room Survival Tips

Tip 1: Don't Panic! (Yet)

When trapped in a panic room, the most crucial thing to remember is to stay calm. Take deep breaths, count to 10, and try not to think about the impending doom outside the door.

Subtip 1: If you have time, grab a snack. You never know how long you'll be in there.

Subtip 2: Call for help using your best "I'm stuck in a panic room, send help!" voice.

Subtip 3: If you have a phone, call 911. If you don't have a phone, call for help using your best "I'm stuck in a panic room, send help!" voice.

Tip 2: Find the Panic Button

Most panic rooms come equipped with a panic button. It's usually red, usually in the center of the room, and might be hidden behind a fake bookshelf or a two-way mirror.

Subtip 1: If you can't find the panic button, check the ceiling for a hidden button. Or a button disguised as a ventilation grate.

Subtip 2: If you're still stuck, try whistling "The Star-Spangled Banner" loudly. It's a classic.

Tip 3: Make Yourself at Home

Make yourself as comfortable as possible in the panic room. Grab a pillow, a blanket, and a favorite snack from the mini-fridge in the corner.

Subtip 1: If you have a laptop, charge it. The battery life might be shorter than you think.

Subtip 2: Learn to appreciate the aesthetic of your surroundings. The industrial chic is a unique experience.

Tip 4: Stay Entertained

Fortune favors the prepared. Bring a deck of cards, a book, or a portable game console to pass the time.

Subtip 1: Download your favorite podcast or radio show. It's a nice distraction.

Subtip 2: If you have a portable charger, charge your phone. If you don't, charge your imagination.

That's all for now, folks! Good luck, and may your panic room stay peaceful and uneventful.
