Mr. and Mrs. GER have been married for nearly 30 years. Their first date was at a local restaurant, as it turns out, not too far from Gateway Escape Rooms. They hit it off right away, and spent the whole night talking and getting to know one another. So, that’s how they found THEIR magic. Can an escape room be a way to figure out if you have met The One?
One of the tips our puzzlemasters share with first-time escape room players is to communicate, communicate, communicate. Having a first date with someone where communication is a key to success can give you insight into just how well that person will open up. We have seen couples where one or the other is tight-lipped and not very responsive or cooperative. Others we see talk through a puzzle very well. Your escape room experience will reveal quite a bit about your partner.
All of the escape rooms at Gateway Escape Rooms are designed for groups of 9 or more, so a small group really has to work well together to successfully beat the room. How well does your date cooperate with you or others? Do they want to do it all, or do they include you in the process?
Working through an escape room is an exercise in using your noodle. Few things are as fun as opening up that lock after solving a nettlesome clue, and almost nothing beats relief from the exquisite frustration of trying multiple tracks to resolve a puzzle.
Most people handle this very well, laughing at their own foibles. Escape rooms offer a perfect opportunity to learn that your romantic interest is a good sport!
When considering where to go on that important first date, definitely consider going to an escape room. Gateway Escape Rooms is conveniently located in Concord Plaza, surrounded by lots of great places to have dinner and drinks before or after your escape.
