If you think escape room puzzles are difficult, then it’s time for us to give you some tips to succeed in solving in them the best way possible.
We start from the consideration that the classic escape rooms have different puzzles from MysterU, which allows you to have a 360-degree experience navigating the open web and searching for clues in real, not purpose-built sites.
This is definitely one of the strengths of this new type of MysterU, seeing is believing!
Anyway, if we want to focus on “escape room puzzles,” we need to understand again what an escape room is and what kinds of puzzles there may be inside it.
Certainly, the puzzles that will be proposed will be themed to the room you are in, so maybe in a horror escape, the puzzles will be simpler but more emotionally terrifying.
In a nutshell, if you are a newbie to escape rooms, you have to figure out how they work. That is, in order to make it out of the room you have to solve some puzzles or find combinations that will allow you to open locks and thus see the light of day! In a manner of speaking!
Escape room puzzles are definitely one of the basic pillars on which this game is based!
At this point, it is essential that they are well-constructed and not easily solved. This is to make the experience more interesting in the eyes of the players, just as Mysteru does in its cases!
If you want to try to solve escape room puzzles to the best of your ability we suggest some training, but more on that in future articles. In fact, if you want to become the undisputed Kings and Queens of classic escape rooms, don’t miss our next articles! There might be some very useful tips for you! Anyway, we must tell you that, unlike classic escape rooms, MysterU evolves with you every time and it will never be so easy to solve our puzzles.
The first category of escape room puzzles we can identify with is the physical/mechanical ones. These are “mysteries” that can be solved by manual actions. An example might be interlocking games that placed in the right position unlock and open a door or secret compartment with a clue or other puzzle inside to solve!
Other examples of escape room mechanical puzzles can be the double-bottomed containers, combinations, puzzles, or why not, the information that is found after the completion of an action. Are you thinking about what action may be the latter that I mentioned?
Simple! Think of text written in invisible ink that appears only when illuminated with a UV light.
I have to tell you that I prefer these or the literal iconographic ones, although the latter are in the next category.
Here you can also find puzzles where there are texts in literary, mathematical or iconographic format that when solved provide you with information to continue your game. For example, they can be a combination, a clue where you find a key or a useful object. Also part of this category is logic puzzles which are rebuses, anagrams, secret alphabets, cipher tracks, mathematical equations or mathematical logic games.
I and logic and mathematical puzzles don’t get along very well, which is why I always have a friend in my team who is perfect for this kind of solving instead.
Which of these do you feel you would be strong in and what are your weaknesses?
In the end, it is only fair for you to know that if you cannot solve a puzzle or are in trouble, you can always ask for help from the director, that is, the escape room operator, who follows you step by step with a surveillance camera.
Now, you just have to try your hand at our puzzles if you haven’t already!
