11 Escape Room Tips and Tricks You Won't Want to Miss - Confessions of a Theme Park Worker

Published 2022-10-06

Never done an escape room and wondering what to expect and what they are like? Or maybe you have and didn't do well, and want to be more successful. Or maybe you're looking to just up your game. These tips and tricks come not just from my experiences but also from people who work and run escape rooms.

A behind the scenes look at what a former worker at Disney World, Silver Dollar City, and Busch Gardens Florida experienced in his time working at the parks. From driving large safari trucks around live wild animals while cracking one silly joke after another, to spending 5 years as a #PhotoPass photographer at #WaltDisneyWorld and seeing and experiencing all sorts of things, to being a conductor and #trainrobber on the famous Frisco Silver Dollar Line at #SilverDollarCity. With 10 years of working in the parks, there's lots of stories to tell. Here is some of them...

Not only did I work in theme parks for 10 years, I've visited a whole lot of them as well. Here's some stories of great visits, not so great visits, favorites, reviews, and much more.

I love escape rooms! Thanks for doing a vid on them! I would say always LISTEN and watch like a hawk carefully to your host in the pre game briefing. This time usually contains valuable information including hints and helps differentiate between their room and other escape games.
