The examples of escape room puzzles are diverse, but basically, we can divide them into two broad categories.
If you are interested in this topic because you have never entered an escape room, then we suggest a few more articles for you to look at so that you are ready and prepared for this experience, you can check out these articles here!
A few years ago, we at MysterU had already covered the topic in our blog about escape room puzzles, but here we want to be even more specific!
In fact, there are several sites that publish periodic or daily games, riddles, and puzzles, either to make an escape room in the house, to test ourselves with logical challenges, and to stimulate our IQ more and more.
As you well know if you follow us, we at MysterU love and have done several physical escape rooms!
It was from them that we were inspired to create our investigation games on the open web, which can be regarded as some sort of online escape room.
Let’s not delay any longer; here are examples of escape room puzzles that you can find both in our games and in the physical escape rooms.
Let’s start by making the distinction between the two main categories of examples of escape room puzzles that you can find in escape rooms and why not, in some cases, even in digital ones.
Examples of escape room puzzles can be divided into two categories:
In classic escape rooms, it is the combination of these two elements along with a captivating and compelling story that determines their success over another.
Thus, some examples of escape room puzzles may be considered logical/deductive intelligence, manual intelligence, or even spatial intelligence. What must be kept in mind is that to make an escape room unique all these three elements must be within the room.
Compared with the others, this type of puzzle relies mainly on content analysis and obviously on logical deduction, which the player must possess. What you need to do is to reflect and analyze the problem to arrive at the solution, thanks also to soft skills such as problem-solving, creative thinking, and lateral thinking. A good team whose members combine all these functions will get you out of the room!
But don’t despair, there are bound to be some on the team who are better suited for logical functions, some more creative, and others more mathematical.
Some examples of logical escape room puzzles are:
I don’t know about you, but yours truly hates this last subcategory, perhaps because compared to others. I am a landslide, so when we run into these I always let the mathematician on duty brainstorm!
These puzzles, as the name implies, need not only logic and thought but actual actions to be solved. In fact, as these are mechanical, they really need the manual and spatial intelligence of man.
Some examples of physical escape room puzzles are for example:
These we say are the coolest part of escape rooms because you physically perform the action that will either advance you in the game or exit the room, so they are definitely more rewarding as well.
Junior Focus is definitely suitable for riddles and logic puzzles for younger children. We also suggest you try Ghosts, our MysterU case which is suitable for children 6 years and older, and is available for purchase here!
Animatamante is another site that offers you different types of puzzles with different difficulties to challenge you more and more. The Mathematical puzzles and games site offers logic, math, physics, and geometry games, as I told you they are not my favourite site! LogicGames is a company that really offers a lot of wooden puzzles, mazes, and puzzles that can entertain you and stimulate your mind.
Now that we’ve unveiled the examples of escape room puzzles all you have to do is try them out and maybe pop over to our site and try your hand at one of our cases to test your deductive logic skills!
