People can become complete senseless animals when they're put into an escape room. Maybe it has something to do with the claustrophobia that can naturally ensue when you're put into a maze of sorts, and the reality of making your grand escape can be quite delayed depending on the amount of brain activity going on with the rest of your team. Hopefully these ridiculous stories from escape room employees make you feel a bit better about any potential catastrophic fails that you experienced while navigating an escape room.

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the weirdest and most outrageous stuff that escape room employees have seen. As it turns out, many of us are apt to do completely absurd, and entirely incorrect things when trying to escape a room. Shoutout to that one person who dug through tons of sand to dig out a wire, and then tried chewing through it. How could someone think that that was the move? Unreal.

People are really bad at escaping from escape rooms. They'll totally miss obvious clues, disregard warnings to not break things, and even bring in their own tools to escape more effectively. One wonders why you'd deliberately sabotage your own experience you've paid money to have, but sometimes you just have to let people do dumb things.
Someone on AskReddit asked for escape room employees to share the absolute dumbest ways they've seen morons try to escape the escape room. The ensuing responses are brimming with mindless stupidity. It's fair to say that a whole lot of these people shouldn't have been anywhere close to an escape room.
This Escape Room owner was NOT having it when an angry customer left a dishonest 1-star review. What is it that compels these triggered customers to try and stain the reputation of solid establishments with whatever half-baked lie they pulled out of the air? Maybe a simple result of boredom meets stupidity. Fortunately for this customer, the owner was ready to teach them that you can't hide from the truth!
