Are You Really That Stupid for Escape Games?

Are You Really That Stupid For Escape Games?

Do you guys think you’re really that dumb? We at Breakout always notice players saying they won’t escape even before they start the game. Breakout has 12 rooms altogether, takkan la you cannot break out of just one room. We looked into to it, to find why you guys think and feel stupid while playing the escape room to try to prove that you are actually are not stupid.

1- You Doubt Yourself

Why do you guys doubt yourself? Doubt is the reason everytime you want to go play an escape room, you will tell the game master before hand that you’re stupid. Not yet try also say this la that la already, have some confidence people, without DOUBT confirm lah that your performance will be tip top in the room. You might even feel like you’re Albert Einstein .

2- You’re Just Lazy

If you’re lazy then we surrender lah because only you can un-lazy yourself. Imagine you are inside the room with your friends and everyone trying damn hard to solve the puzzle but actually you’re the smartest one in the group. Only because you felt lazy to even try that you didn’t manage to break out? You just need to be a little more rajin and you guys would’ve escaped.

3- Not A Math God

Ahh the classic, I’m not good at maths and puzzles equal maths solutions so i wont be able to solve it…As a game master I agree that maths is involved in the rooms but its only basic maths even kids in tadika also can answer, you cannot answer meh! If you can answer what is 2+2 then for sure you can handle these escape rooms!

4- You’re not good in expressing yourself

You’re super smart and have like a billion ideas in your mind that could help your team achieve victory but just because you don’t know how to express yourself or form proper sentences, you just keep quiet and not say anything. Why give up when you could say something and be the savior for your team. It could be the lifeline that your team needs so you need to be more expressive.

Now that you know why you’ve been feeling like you’re not smart enough and know how to beat that feeling. Also we still encourage you to come even though you are not in any of these 4 categories ( actually dumb ) because at least you get to have fun realising how dumb you are..Buckle up and come book your sessions here. Breakout is the best place for beginners to test your smartness! Of course bringing the right friends do make a difference too, read the 5 types of players article we recently wrote through our observation through these years. Make sure you choose the right people to play with.
