Why Keystone Escape Rooms?

Many of the escape rooms around Atlanta are not facilitated like they are here at Keystone Escape Games. We have closed-circuit monitors in each room where we monitor your group’s progress. When you hit a wall and need some help, we offer three keys or clues to help your group move forward. 

How Many Players In Your Escape Room?

The first thing to consider when picking your escape room is how many people are you bringing with you to the escape game. If it’s just you and one other person- your girlfriend, your wife, your wife and your girlfriend (we’re not judging!), you’ll want to factor this in.

Here’s why- with only two people playing, some escape games are practically impossible. There’s just too many clues and too many distractions for two people to tackle, and if you don’t have enough people, it’s kind of a set up for failure- no matter how many clues you get. So, unless you’re into that kind of thing (failure, self-abuse, etc.), then you probably want to ask the game masters which escape rooms are better for a small number of players.

Keep in mind, if you only have a couple of people to bring with you, that’s fine. We’ll simply add your group to another small group to make it more fun for everybody. You’ll get a chance to make new friends and see how you do when you’re all put into a pressure situation to escape the room. We say, “Bring it!”

Now, if you have a larger group (say 6 or more), then the size of the escape room doesn’t matter

Facilitated Or Non-Facilitated Escape Games?

One thing to think about is how hard do you want your escape room experience to be? When it comes to escape rooms in Atlanta, there are some franchises that put you and your group is nothing more than a conference room with a few props, tell you theme and toss various puzzles at you. If you get stuck, you stay stuck until time runs out. That is the definition of a non-facilitated escape game.

While a facilitated escape game has a game master watching your group on closed-circuit TV the entire time. When you run into trouble, (notice that we didn’t say “if” you run into trouble. Moo haha!), the game master will offer a hint to facilitate the game along. This allows the group to determine how hard they want the escape game to be. Plus, it tends to make things more enjoyable when you know you have some help from above.

Decorated Escape Rooms Vs Not So Much

As we said, some escape rooms are as well-decorated as a rental storage shed. You can see how they cut a few (like “ALL”) corners in decorating the place. Other escape rooms are like stepping back in time when you walk in. The best escape rooms work hard to immerse you in the experience as part of the thrill of the experience. It’s important to ask about decorations when you book your escape game.
