1. What NOT to wear to the escape room?
First thing first, you should always dress casually and comfortably for the escape room.
You will be moving and touching almost everything in the small room for an hour.
It’s not uncommon for your shirt to catch on something sharp or get some dirt out of nowhere. (Yup, this happened… A LOT)
To play safe, avoid wearing expensive clothes or anything that can’t be dry-cleaned.
So leave your high-fashion silk top for the next time girl, so not worth it.

4. Escape room tips: Dress in layers
Most of the escape room has A/C, and it can be freezing cold even on summer days.
To survive through the escape room, layering up is key.
Instead of wearing one knitted turtleneck, team up with a tee and a shacket just to offer you more flexibility.
More often than not, you will soon get warmed up after completing some tasks. Make sure you can take on and take off your outerwear to feel the most carefree.
