What Type of Event is an Escape Room Good For?
Which Type of Escape Room Player are You?
So which type of Escape Room player are YOU then? Do you go where no one else dares to, or are you the relentless one who won’t give up until the very last minute? Well today we’re going to take a look and see which type of player you are, and you may find that you’re ideally placed to win our Escape Room Game - and built to win.
The relentless restless player.
Are you the one with a fixed stare, the one who starts an investigation that never stops until the very last nano second? Are you the one pursuer, he/she who must win and never, ever gives up until someone says it’s over? You’re very determined and you don’t stop, you’re an asset to the whole team, but try to make sure you’re not still looking after the game’s ended and someone has to come and forcibly stop you before you implode.
Are you compulsive and addicted to Escape Rooms?
Perhaps you visit Escape Rooms all over the UK in a bid to try and win all of them. You love it so much you know every single room and you’re quite happy if people know it. No one will know the game better than you do, no one will be able to understand the game the way you do, because nobody else knows it as intimately as you do. In fact, you’re the only one that can go on about with some expertise.
The leader rather than a follower?
Are you the one who takes control – every single time? You’ll be the ultimate leader. The person who will make sure everyone is doing everything they’re supposed to be doing. You can stop any friction and keep people on task, that way the job gets done. Yes, the game wouldn’t go so well or be so successful without someone like you there to delegate and over any arguments or disagreements.
The Geek.
Yes, he or she is the one who picks at the locks, goes over every clue with a fine-tooth comb, discussing each one in detail at the pub later, and then discusses the intimate details of the game with everyone who took part and even those who didn’t. In the meantime, you’ll be the one with all the attention while you’re in the room, finding clues, solving them and then understanding every single bit of each one.
The Fidgety One.
Yes, you’re the one who is never able to make up their minds. You’re all over the room, and all over the place. You can’t seem to decide what you’re supposed to do, and you can’t make your mind up about anything else either. You have no methodology, no focus, and no idea. This could cost everyone if someone else doesn’t take charge. It could be a matter of someone keeping a close eye on you, and you’ll be glad they did because it’ll keep you on task, so let someone else take charge, and keep your attention where it’s needed most.
Escape Southend – So, which one are you then?
Have you been able to recognise yourself? Are you any of the people we’ve described above like you? Or perhaps you know someone who fits the bill for at least one or even two of them? Why not choose your team wisely, and then book your room with us either online or over the phone? You and your team can then do their stuff once you’re here.

The Benefits of Brain Teasers & Puzzles
Today we’re talking about the benefits of brain teasers and puzzles and how they can help keep your mind sharp. Our escape games aren’t just for fun, they’re also for keeping your grey matter super fit, and they’re incredibly helpful at keeping your brain on form. Read on to find out why Escape Games Southend are of benefit to your gorgeous brain!
Great at Keeping Active
Brain teasers and puzzles are great at keeping active, but not just for your body, it’s also great for cognitive function too. They help keep your mind sharp and provide a relief from a diet of TV and computer screens. Of course, exercise and a healthy diet are incredibly important too, but taxing your brain with quizzes, puzzles and brain teasers can play their part too. It’s also a great way of spending some time away from home and with like-minded people, your friends and family.
Keep Your Mind Sharp
Any brain games are good for you mentally and help you to keep your mind sharp. It doesn’t always necessarily have to be our Escape Games either, although they’re obviously designed to get your brain working, it could be anything where you have to think hard and work things out, something with a particular level of difficulty. These problems could be solved in a lot of different ways, it could be using numbers, language or analytical problem-solving.
Promoting a Positive Mood
By keeping your brain active you could help stave off depression and low mood, and it’s helpful if you combine this with regular exercise too. Escape Games don’t offer a cure for dementia, but by keeping your brain active, you’re possibly helping to keep it at bay for longer. Rather than by doing repetitive work and sitting doing nothing more than stare at the TV, which requires no interaction from you, you’re becoming stale and bored.
There’s too much time to overthink and mull over things that haven’t gone well when you’re not doing much. By remaining active you are helping to keep yourself occupied and your brain healthy. Change what you do on a regular basis so your activities don’t become repetitive, swap tasks and you’ll be keeping your brain cells on their toes!
Escape Southend for the best way of keeping your brain cells guessing! Yes, come on down to Escape Southend and take part in the game that really tests your abilities. Find those well-hidden pesky clues, then work them out as a team, unlock them all using that sensational brain of yours and keep that serotonin flowing! Whether you work it all out in under an hour or not or fail just before the hour’s up – it’s the taking part that counts. Book your room online or by phone, we can’t wait to see you have the time of your life!

You’ll need to work as a team, so good communication is important, and by working together, the sooner you’ll get out. You may not be successful the first time, but you can come back as many times as you want, because there’s nothing we like better, than to see our customers come back over and over again.
