You've just successfully completed your Escape Room. The final puzzles are solved, the door has opened, and the euphoria is still palpable. Right now, there's a little-known tip that many players overlook: simply ask for a second room straight afterwards!

Many groups are planning their visit, for example in the hugely popular 'Library of a Thousand Books' in Herten book only one adventure well in advance. It can be worthwhile to spontaneously add another mission.

If the first room impresses, the second is often at least as good.

Escape rooms from a provider are usually developed with the same attention to detail. If the first room impressed you with its exciting puzzles, a great atmosphere, and creative ideas, there's a good chance that the other rooms from this escape room provider in NRW are similarly well-designed.

So why go home after just an hour when more adventures await you?

The game masters already know you.

Another advantage is often underestimated: after the first game, the game masters will have already adjusted to your group.

She knows your playstyle, understands how many clues you need, and can better gauge how to guide you through the next adventure. This often makes the guidance feel even more personal and enjoyable than in the first room.

Furthermore, the initial getting-to-know-you phase is eliminated. You can often jump straight into the next adventure.

The group is already in escape room mode

Anyone who has played multiple escape rooms before will be familiar with the phenomenon: after the first few minutes, your brain is set to puzzles. You automatically look for clues, think more creatively, and often work together as a team particularly effectively.

Playing a second room straight away capitalises on exactly this effect. The group is well-rehearsed, motivated and still full of energy.

Often there is even a discount

Many escape room providers welcome last-minute bookings for multiple rooms. That’s why some venues offer discounts if you book another room straight after finishing the first one. This is also the case at Verschlusssache Escape Rooms, Germany’s largest escape room provider!

Such offers are not always found on the website. Therefore, it is worth simply asking politely after the first game. No one can say more than „no“.

Our conclusion

If you enjoyed an escape room in North Rhine-Westphalia, you should consider if you'd like to add a second mission spontaneously. It's highly probable that you'll enjoy the next room too. The game master already knows your group, you're still fully in puzzle mode, and with a bit of luck, you might even save money with a discount.

The best time for the next adventure is sometimes not next week – but right after this one.
