Ready for suspense, teamwork and some brilliant puzzles? An escape room at Alma Park could be just what you are looking for. Every room brings a different story, surprising twists and plenty to get you thinking. To help you tackle the challenge, we have put together our best tips for solving the rooms at Alma Park.

These practical tips will help you and your team make the most of the challenge. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced puzzle solver, they can improve your chances of a successful escape.

1. Choose your team wisely

You are here to have fun, but you want to escape too, right? Choose people who work well together. It is less about who knows the most and more about who can connect the clues. Good at logic? Bring someone with an eye for hidden details. A mix of creative thinkers, problem solvers and people who stay calm under pressure makes a great team.

2. Keep talking

Escape rooms are not about shouting the loudest or doing everything yourself. Talk to one another. Let the team know when you find something, and share your ideas, even if they seem far-fetched. Every escape room at Alma Park has details you will need to work out together. Quietly puzzling away in a corner can hold the whole team back.

3. Look closely and investigate

There is no cheating at Alma Park, but every room is full of hidden clues. Think like a detective: look under tables, open drawers and check picture frames. Items that can be moved are there to be explored. Always follow your game master's instructions: they will tell you if anything is off limits.

4. Use logic and think creatively

Alma Park's escape rooms are not maths exams. Logic helps, but creativity will take you further. A clue might lie in an unusual sequence, an unexpected colour or a sound you nearly missed. Remember that the details have a purpose. If you get stuck, take a fresh look around the room.

5. Keep an eye on the time

Sixty minutes can pass more quickly than you expect. Divide up the work: while some of you solve a lock, others can search a new area. Watch the clock so you do not end up rushing in a panic. If you cannot make progress, ask for a hint. Alma Park's hints are designed to help you along without spoiling the fun.

6. Make a plan

Before you start, briefly agree how you will approach the room. Who will organise the clues you find? Who enjoys number puzzles? A little planning saves time and prevents confusion. Alma Park's rooms often have several puzzles you can work on at once, so sharing out the tasks makes sense.

7. Keep track of every clue

Put the things you find in one central place so important pieces do not get overlooked. Alma Park's rooms contain small clues, codes and objects in all sorts of places. Collecting them on a table or in one corner makes it easy to see what you have already found.

8. Listen to your game master

The game masters at Alma Park are there to help. Listen to their comments and tips: they can see where you are stuck and offer a small nudge at the right moment. When the walkie-talkie sounds, it is worth paying attention.

9. Enjoy the experience

Of course, the aim is to escape. Above all, though, it should be fun. Immerse yourself in the story, enjoy solving the puzzles and celebrate each small success. An escape room at Alma Park is a chance to leave everyday life behind, and the adrenaline rush when you escape at the last minute is priceless.
