Summer is in full swing, and while the North East of England might not have the scorching temperatures of the tropics, it's still the perfect time to dive into some cool indoor activities. One of the best ways to beat the heat this summer is by challenging yourself with a thrilling Cluedini escape room experience. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-timer, these escape room tips will help you stay cool, calm and collected while solving puzzles and cracking codes.
#1. Stay Hydrated
Before you even step foot into the escape room, make sure you're well-hydrated. A hydrated brain is a sharp brain, and you'll need all your wits about you to solve those tricky puzzles. Bottles of water can be taken into our game rooms, so bring one from home or purchase one for just £1 from our reception, and take a sip whenever you get a chance.
#2. Dress Comfortably
Escape rooms can sometimes get a bit intense, so wearing light and comfortable clothing is a must. Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton or linen to keep cool under pressure. Whilst our games don't require any particular physical exertion (I did once play a room where you had to pedal a bike for 5 minutes!!!) you'll be moving around, bending, and reaching, so comfortable shoes are a good idea as well.
# 3. Choose Air-Conditioned Escape Rooms
Here at Cluedini, you'll find a powerful air-conditioning unit in all of our escape rooms - but that's not always the case elsewhere. A well-ventilated room can make a huge difference in the height of summer, ensuring you stay comfortable throughout your game, so if you're planning an escape room venture away from Cluedini (shame on you first of all 🫢) be sure to check if they're as cool as us!
# 4. Take Breaks if Needed
Our escape rooms are designed to be engaging and immersive, but it's important to listen to your body. If you start feeling overheated or overwhelmed, take a brief pause. It's important to remember that at Cluedini we never actually lock you in and a host is always on hand who can provide a short break if needed. Use this time to cool down and rehydrate, or at the very least, take a seat within the escape room... you'll find somewhere to perch, regardless of which game you're tackling, in all of our venues.
#5. Work as a Team
Teamwork is crucial in escape rooms. Our escape rooms are all non-linear, so dividing tasks among your group to avoid running around too much, which can raise your body temperature, is a must. Effective communication and delegation can make the experience more enjoyable and efficient, helping you beat the heat and the clock.

#6. Remain Calm and Focussed
The pressure of the ticking clock can make you feel hot under the collar, but staying calm is key. Take deep breaths and approach each puzzle with a clear mind. Panic can cloud your judgment and make the room feel even warmer, so maintain your composure to solve puzzles more effectively.

#7. Know when to ask for hints
Don't be afraid to ask for hints if you get stuck. Escape rooms are meant to be challenging but fun. If you find yourself struggling, a well-timed hint can keep the momentum going and prevent frustration, ensuring you enjoy the experience without getting overheated.
#8. Plan a Cool Down Activity
After you've escaped (or not!), plan a cool down activity. Whether it's grabbing an ice cream, visiting a nearby café, or taking a stroll along the river or through the town, having a post-escape room plan can help you relax and reflect on your summer adventure while continuing to beat the heat.
In Conclusion
Our escape rooms are a fantastic way to have fun and challenge yourself while staying out of the summer sun. With these handy escape room tips, you'll be well-prepared to tackle any puzzle that comes your way. So, gather your team, book your escape room at Cluedini and enjoy a cool, brain-teasing adventure this summer in the North East. Happy escaping!
