Hiding Places

Any escape room is going to involve the players finding clues and objects that will help unlock the secrets. Some of these objects will not be in obvious places. This section suggests some “fair” hiding places, some “unfair” hiding places, and some puzzles to find objects that are not meant to be found on their own.
