  • I threw an escape room party a few years ago, and it was amazing! I had a hard time back then trying to research tips and tricks of how to plan an escape room, and most importantly, how to setup the puzzles so that they 'chain' together.
    In this video I discuss things I learned from throwing that party, describe how I lined up the puzzles, how to handle giving the players hints, and also a bit about things for invitations and rewards to really up the game.
    If you need help planning your own escape room party, please let me know in the comments below. I'll post some links here to things that helped me as far as puzzles and such.

    Thanks for watching! I'm working hard to keep content flowing...some projects take longer so the videos take longer, but some, like this, were from projects I did years ago and just hadn't shared yet. I appreciate every one of you out there that is watching these videos and liking, commenting, and subscribing!

    I really like this lock pick idea. How does it work , how do I get one, and is it easy to learn for someone who has never done it?

    • @geektoolkit
      @geektoolkit  3 роки тому +1

      You can search for 'clear lockpick set' and similar on Amazon and find everything you need. There are youtube tutorials for lockpicking. The basic Lock I show here, being clear, is fairly easy to learn and rewarding (the clear locks are meant for practice, and being able to see inside takes a large amount of the mystery away). I just wouldn't think that because the clear lock is easy that you can run around and be a lock smith...'actual' locks are typically designed to prevent basic picking skills and utensils, and it takes practice like all things.
