Virtual escape rooms have taken the world by storm, offering a thrilling mix of puzzles, teamwork, and adventure—all from the comfort of your own space.

At Virtual Escaping, we’ve seen countless teams tackle our challenges, and we’ve distilled their successes into five key secrets to help you conquer any virtual escape room.
Ready to level up? Let’s dive in!
1. Assign Roles Early
A great escape starts with a great team—and that means knowing who’s doing what. Before the clock starts ticking, figure out your strengths. Got a knack for numbers? You’re the code-cracker. Love spotting details? You’re the clue-finder. Assigning roles keeps everyone focused and prevents chaos when the pressure’s on.
2. Talk It Out (But Don’t Shout It Out)
Communication is the backbone of any successful escape. Use your video call or chat to share what you see—every detail could be a clue. But here’s the trick: stay calm and clear. Overlapping voices can drown out the one idea that cracks the case. Pro tip: designate a “scribe” to jot down key info so nothing gets lost.
3. Think Like a Detective
Virtual escape rooms are full of surprises—hidden links, subtle hints, and red herrings. Don’t just click around aimlessly; approach each puzzle with a detective’s mindset. Ask yourself: What’s the story here? How do these pieces connect? Sometimes, the answer’s hiding in plain sight.
4. Use Your Tools Wisely
Most virtual escape rooms, including ours at Virtual Escaping, give you a digital inventory or interactive elements. Don’t ignore them! That random object or locked file might be the key to your next breakthrough. Experiment with combining items or revisiting earlier clues—persistence pays off.
5. Know When to Hint
Stuck on a puzzle for too long? Don’t let pride sink your team. Our games come with a hint system for a reason—use it! A nudge in the right direction can save time and keep the momentum going. The goal is to escape, not to prove you’re invincible.
We’ve watched teams of all kinds—friends, families, coworkers—put these tips to the test. Just last week, a corporate group crushed one of our toughest rooms in record time by splitting roles and keeping their cool. “The scribe idea was a game-changer,” their team lead told us. “We stopped repeating ourselves and started solving faster.”
Ready to see these secrets in action? Book one of our virtual escape rooms today and challenge your crew. Whether you’re unraveling a mystery, cracking a vault, or outsmarting a villain, these five tips will give you the edge. Got your own escape room hacks? Drop them in the comments—we’re always up for learning from our players!
