We have all been in that situation where we’ve had to endure the embarrassment of small talk and awkward pauses on a first date. The idea that a first date needs to be a traditional diner or movie night is slowly becoming less favourable amongst new couples.
When it comes to date night ideas, it is best to choose something memorable, unique and fun!
If you would like to impress your date with out-of-the-box thinking, book an escape room experience. Show your date your originality, and you’ll both have an afternoon full of laughs and fun!
Here is why we think an Escape Room is an amazing first date idea:
The date you’ll both remember
Arranging a date at a restaurant is something that anyone can do with very little thought required. An escape room is maybe not considered a ‘traditional’ first date experience. But it will definitely be the one you both will remember.
Our escape room game is the perfect way to spend an evening with your special someone. The two-person event, lasting up to 90 minutes, usually starts from £31per person. Not only is an escape room an affordable date idea, but this unique experience will help you and your date to get to know each other better.
There will be fewer chances for awkward silences on this date. You can show your strength, while you are both working together to be triumphant winners. What’s more, an escape room date idea shows initiative and creativity which is a welcomed alternative to a conventional run-of-the-mill date!
Be creative and expressive together
Inside an escape room, you will both be working together to achieve a common goal to escape. However, you’ll only be successful at doing so if you can put your creative minds together and work as a team.
There will be times when all you have to rely upon is your ability to communicate with one another. You will both be responsible for quick-fire communication, time-sensitive clues and creative problem-solving. The best way to ensure you’re progressing through the room appropriately is to constantly talk with each other.
You can feel reassured knowing that these events are designed to test your creativity. Not just as an individual but as well as a team. That means you will need one other to input equally to succeed. It’s like trying to push a car up a hill by yourself. You’ll need someone else to help you if you want to make it to the top.
It is important to remember that our escape experiences are not as straightforward as you may think. Rest assured they will test your ability to think out of the box. You and your date will have very different ways of thinking. Hopefully when combined, inside an escape room, can work out highly in your favour.
Escape room events heavily depend on a team’s creative problem-solving abilities. We firmly believe that the more you work creatively together, the higher your chances of enjoying each other’s company.
Quality bonding time
We have designed our Escape rooms with trust and teamwork at the heart of everything. We aim to encourage all participants to work together to solve the puzzles and find the all-important clues to escape the room together. After all, that’s when the all-important bonding happens. Two interesting people working together to achieve a common goal!
Putting your trust in one another from the start is very important for developing a connection. An escape room heavily depends on trust and communication. You’re guaranteed to have an amazing time if you both put in the effort!
Do not forget to use the Gamemaster as your third player. He is there to provide you with extra clues or hints. Well, just in case you need it 🙂
FUN is guaranteed
You will have plenty of fun and a lot to laugh about in an escape room adventure!
The main motive of you going on a date is to get to know one another, so dating is an opportunity to build connection and have some fun. Therefore, it’s crucial to make sure that you love your first rendezvous together. If you both had an enjoyable date, filled with repeated laughter, then you both would like to repeat it again in the future.
