Welcome back to our escape room myth busting blog series. Last time we covered being actually locked in, horror themed games, and GM’s behind the scenes. You can read our responses to those myths here. If you’re caught up, let's tackle a few more myths.

Myth 4: You will use a prop multiple times throughout the game

Rarely. While we can’t speak for every escape room company, at Murfreesboro Escape Rooms you don’t reuse any props more than once during your experience. This means that once you’ve used an item, key, or code, you don’t have to worry about it again. Hooray!

Myth 5: Hints are for newbies only

False; hints are for everyone! We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: hints are there to help you. 90% of our escape enthusiast players use hints during their games, and 95% of players who don’t use hints don’t escape. If your goal is to escape without GM intervention, we’ll back off, but keep in mind what you're risking. PS: at MER we don’t dock time for hints, so use as many as you like!

Myth 6: If you don’t fill the game to capacity, you may have to play with strangers.

Nope! At MER all bookings are private. This means that only the teammates you bring with you will be playing with you. Hooray! (Choose your teammates carefully though)

We hope you learned something from our second round of myth-busting! Have you heard any other escape room myths that you’d like answered? Message us on Facebook or Instagram and we can address it in our next blog! See you there!
