Sequence breaking shouldn't disqualify you, but simply side-step you unto the Any% leaderboard, which is separate.

I went to an escape room with my girlfriend, and from the moment we entered the building everything was plastered with "PLEASE DO NOT BREAK/PULL APART OUR FURNITURE!" stickers and signs, though for good reason since the place looked pretty banged up. We got the pre-escape talk, again with "so guys please don't break stuff and please don't move or destroy our furniture that always happens and it sucks to glue back together so we'll end the game and kick you out if we catch you", and went into the actual escape room. Stickers about not breaking stuff everywhere in there too, kinda killed the immersion. But what almost made me demand my money back was that at some point in the escape room, the riddle was to find hidden clues with a blacklight lamp you got from a puzzle box, and these clues all pointed towards a bookshelf, which we searched up and down and from all sides, i even lifted my girlfriend so she could check the top of it, to no avail, and we eventually ran out of time because we got stuck there - AND THEN WE GET TOLD WE SHOULD'VE PULLED THE SHELF APART BECAUSE ONE OF THE BOARDS HAD THE KEY TO THE ESCAPE DOOR INSIDE A HOLLOW COMPARTMENT. YOU NEEDED TO DO THE THING YOU HAD BEEN TOLD LIKE 50 TIMES NOT TO DO TO ACTUALLY GET TO THE END. YOU NEEDED TO DISREGARD THE WARNING THAT YOU'D BE KICKED OUT TO ACTUALLY WIN.

Sequence breaking an escape room is so funny to me, I imagine like jigsaw's puzzle and he was just explaining what the trap does but the victim already managed to open the door and broke the trap

The way sequence breaking is usually prevented in well designed escape rooms is by requiring physical tokens from previous puzzles. For example, you open a safe and get a riddle, a key, and a wire. The final puzzle may require you to build some contraption using the wires, and there is no more minimal solution than the number of wires provided. I used this to cheese a solution once actually. Each puzzle gave us a jigsaw piece and it formed a map for us to pick a location from. I picked the one on the last jigsaw piece we got and it was the right answer, because they didn't want you to be able to exit early, before you got that piece.

I accidentally broke an escape room once due to watching Chris Ramsay videos. A drawer was magnetically locked and required three magnetic pieces to unlock it. Once we got the first piece, I began trying to unlock it with one. By the time the rest of the group got the second magnetic piece, I had the drawer open. Staff member looked at me like "wtf you doing?!" Was pretty funny!

I've sequence breaked one too... We were supposed to find a tv remote... I had the idea of the "What if I just press the button on the tv?"... It worked! So that was my first and so far only room...

@Taolan8472

the use of off-the-shelf electronics without modification (like disabling or hiding the buttons) is usually a sign of a poor quality escape room.

I've only done one escape room. We had this little handheld radio with a magnetic antenna and no batteries. We were only supposed to use it as a magnet, but I didn't know that, so we pulled the batteries out of the safe and powered up the radio, thinking that was somehow part of the puzzle. The first station we tuned to was playing that Bruno Mars locked out of heaven song, which seemed thematically appropriate, so we struggled with that until the puzzlemasters told us we were on the wrong track. They had never seen anyone get the radio working before and didn't know that it was even functional. Also there was a magnetic card-key in a box, and we were supposed to figure out how to open the box first, but the card-key worked through the box, so we didn't bother.

Getting DQ'ed for beating an escape room "the wrong way" is like getting all the right answers on a math test but you still get an F because you didn't show your work / did show the work but you didn't use "their method".

I have to disagree. Failing because you didn't show your work is completely fair. Losing points for using a different method is...annoying, but understandable (though not F-worthy unless they explicitly say not to use that method). Either way, not really comparable. Escape rooms aren't tests. It's just...escape the room. Often times by solving puzzles that require/encourage lateral thinking. Tests, on the other hand, are about understanding. Do you understand the concepts that were taught? Do you know when this technique is appropriate and how to use it? There may be other ways to solve this particular problem, but the method being taught may be applicable in cases where those other methods aren't. Additionally, learning a new method can open you to new perspectives. I understand that many teachers miss this nuance though, and i'm sorry if that has been your experience.

@cQunc

Perhaps i should expand on the first point as well. Not showing your work loses points, especially in higher education, because part of understanding is being able to communicate that understanding to others. Even if you were to prove that you know what you're doing by constantly getting the right answers (and somehow prove that you're not cheating off someone else), someone who doesn't have the answer key and doesn't already know how to solve the problem wouldn't be able to verify your answer or distinguish it from a guess. This is especially important in an age when (mis)information is more accessible and widespread than ever.

The funnest part of this to me is realizing how much overlap escape room vocabulary has with speedrunning.

I did an escape room with some family members once. I saw a combination lock, one of the spinning dial ones, and randomly fiddled with it for a moment while my family was crowded around a puzzle in the corner. I opened the lock first try and the guy actually came into the room and told me to put it back, lol.

I had this with a group of friends; we didn't solve out of order, but we found a crawlspace behind a monitor with a push hole to open. Part of the clue sequence that we were figuring out involved using a pen to open a similar box in the same way, so.... we opened it! And it wasn't until two of us were literally opening a grate into the hall that someone phoned in and went, "Um... where did those two go?" So yeah, we literally broke out of our escape room. To be fair, they didn't penalise us; they just set the timer back and even took our photo for a gag XD

I love puzzle games and have played some VR escape rooms. Last year for my birthday some buddies decided to take me to my first escape and I'm be honest I was a bit nervous since as an old man now I was under no misgivings that a real one would be anything like a video game. Fast forward a short while and the employee over seeing us calls out to me over the speaker that I just did something I wasn't supposed to so bad that I cut 30 minutes off the expected 1 hour solve time and was like "You can continue that way if you really want, but I would suggest you stop and go back to get your money's worth" (not the exact quote, but what ever). I have never been so embarrassed and proud at the same time in my life, haha.

Puzzle design is as much about designing the sequence as it is about the steps themselves and how to encourage your participants to follow the sequence.

Like that this exist. I can't constantly watch Thor to catch these stories, and the shorts are too short for these.

One of the escape rooms I've been in was designed for large groups and had half the group handcuffed to a table and then the rest of the group handcuffs to a rail around the corner. You were supposed to identify pictures by calling out information back and forth between the two groups to get the codes to get the key. One of the people had been arrested after enough that they knew how to slip out a handcuffs and just dropped the pictures over to the people with the codes

Escape Room: Please solve our puzzles and get out Wait... No... Not like that

there were two escape rooms I did that had kinda of "Okay, but why" solutions. One was that one of the main things to escape was in this box inside of something, and it was hard to see The other had two dumb ones: To open this lock, you needed a four digit code. The code was the numbers on some of the other cabinets. But then another code important to the solution of the room was from the sum of the weights of certain things (was like a lab themed room), but the scale was off, and we rounded the wrong way and got our answer wrong because of it.

One of my friends once speedran part of an escape room.

One of the rooms was styled after a prison cell, went "oh, i bet the key is in this fake toilet", walked over, reached in, and pulled out a key. Skipped a fair amount of his segment by doing that lol

@Taolan8472

That's pretty much the line between good escape rooms and bad escape rooms. Good escape rooms, at any difficulty or complexity, are well-tested. If the puzzle sequence can be broken, it's either by something obscure that got missed in testing or its an intentional skip left in place for clever people. Bad escape rooms are not well tested and puzzle sequences can be broken easily due to poor design, poor construction, or unclear instructions. Then you get into situations where a well designed escape room is poorly managed. Thor's clock puzzle example is likely one of those. I encountered a similar situation in an escape room with dials. We recorded the original position of the dials, and i used those original positions to determine the solution for the final step, and we skipped about half the room. Turns out the staff had not been properly resetting the room between plays, and so the dials were in their final positions left-over from a previous group.

the pen tester doing pen testing digitally and in actual rooms as well, talk about dedication lol

Sequence breaks sound like a great place to throw in secret collectables or fun lore, especially if it's one of those hard to patch discoveries that would have been also insufficiently rewarding on its own.

The only escape room I've ever done my group broke a part of it by accident. And I mean we literally broke it. One of the keys to the boxes was on a peg that you had to guide through a maze to get it free, but the peg was sold old that when we went to move it the top just broke off it. So my group just took the key and unlocked the relevant box. I still feel bad about that.

We went for a friend of ours 21st birthdays. And of course she got stupid drunk before to celebrate. The first part they walked us in and handcuffed us to a bedframe in the middle of the room. The birthday girl was next to the key which was within reaching distance of her. But she chose to look and bend her thumb and slip out and then instead of trying to help us get out to help her, because she was drunk proceeded to venture ahead and look around. After about 5 minutes the voice said, "how did you get out and why isn't anyone else out?" ahah

I feel like you could solve the problem of sequence-breaking times by just... versioning the room. Either each version can have its own leaderboard or you could put all the times on the same board with the version listed. That way you can fix sequence breaks so they aren't continuously exploited but still keep people's times, whilst communicating to players that certain times may be unassailable due to being set in an older version of the room.

I sequence broke an escape room my last time in one. They had a standard 5 letter padlock and then the answer next to it that was encoded. Theoretically you were supposed to solve a whole sequence of puzzles to get the key to encoding, but the issue was that the encoding was just the binary representation of the ASCII character values. So I saw it and immediately opened the lock not knowing there was a whole sequence before that.

There was an early VR/Vive game that all took place within a 10x10 area. It was an escape room type game that randomized the rooms you'd move into. But it was just a preset handful of rooms so that after a few playthroughs you'd seen them all. Really cool though.

I would never disqualify someone for winning and beating a record when it wasnt the intented way. It just shows there was a fault in my escape room that I would need to look into and fix.

The last time I did an escape room, a murder mystery, we accidently used a wrong magnet to open a wardrobe to a hidden room that the game masters did not know was possible. They were watching us closely after that. We found the correct puzzle later on and were wracking our brains as to what it was for and they got onto the intercom and informed us we had already solved that. Afterwards, they tried replicating it and they couldn't get it working, but when my friend tried again, it instantly unlocked again. Another time, we were the last group of the day and we completely skipped 3 puzzles on a brand new train themed room that the game master was cool with, but was in awe.

I've never been in an escape room but I would imagine I'd be just like this. I work with electrical equipment and pretty much either try to break it or find out why it's broken. All I do all day is solve puzzles.

A friend of mine was about to sequence break a room and got told on the intercom to stop so we would find the actual puzzle clues. Funny enough the same friend had a puzzle where they were chained to a wall and he was able to just slide the chains off. He still did the puzzle anyways.

i found a similar mistake to the box thing once, there was this little door that was partially blocked with wooden planks and there was the final piece of gold in there you needed to collect... i just reached my hand through the gap and grabbed it... it skipped like 4 puzzles that led to blowing up the planks to access the gold. they were like how did you do that, we have never seen someone do that before.

In my escape room, the girl in the group was very petite and we had to solve this maze, instead she was able to reach for it. Same with another puzzle she grabbed a key but we were supposed to use the cane. Didn't get dq'ed.

One time I did an escape room and afterwards the guy working there took us into the new room they were just about to open and let us get a sneak peak. I, being somewhat of an astronomy nerd, immediately walked and pointed out all of the astronomical symbols for the planets, "Oh, there's Mercury, and there's Saturn..." The guy got kinda awkward and said, "Wait, you know all of these?" I said yeah and identified the rest of the symbols as he said, "Well. You probably shouldn't spend money on doing this room because you're basically able to solve the last puzzle right now." I was honestly pretty shocked that they'd base the last puzzle on symbols that I'd assumed were pretty common knowledge, but I guess I'm overestimating how much normies know about astronomy.

My problem with my first escape room was crap. Had a crap ton of red herrings and movable crap all over the room that did nothing. It was just a constant struggle for my siblings. I solved some of the puzzles quickly but we kept getting stuck because I wanted my siblings to solve some things but there was just too much useless stuff.

Every time I've sequence broken a room they get on the loud speaker and say "there's an easier solution" or some shit to let us know we were out of order. I try to do it in order when they say stuff like that cuz i find solving all the little puzzles are fun, getting out of the room means the party is over.

bruh

Isn't the whole point of an escape room to get out? Who tf cares if you accidentally skip some of the puzzles, that dq was weird 😂😂

Design issue

I sequence broke my first ever escape room because the whole thing had not been properly explained to me. Everyone just kept saying: "you know, there will be locks or puzzles, unlock them until you find the way out" So I go in with some friends and the first thing I find is a bunch of luggage locks, which are super easy to unlock with no prior knowledge. So in quick succession, I just went around the room unlocking all the luggage locks. It actually ended up completely messing us up because I didn't understand luggage locks being unlockable was not knowledge I was supposed to have, so I was using the final combinations for them as inputs instead of outputs. So I was calling out, "ok, I've got the sequence 7-3-9" or whatever for each lock I undid along with whatever was behind the lock, and as such we just had too much information to progress quickly and barely made it out in time.

It's not bragging if it's true.
