What does this catergory mean anyway?
We are using this catergory to catch all elements of brain differences
Provide photos of foyer area and a lot of information about what will happen. For example: When you arrive you will check in and pay, you will be given a briefing including the rules of the game, we’ll explain how can you leave the room and won’t actually be locked in, how you’ll know when the room has ended and what will happen afterwards. Basically everything someone who has never played an escape room would want to know.
Are there any strobes, sudden/loud noises or jump scares, background music/sound effects? Can all/some of these be turned off or turned down?
It’s helpful to tell players they’re welcome to bring anything that they personally need in with them. For example people might want to bring in their own sensory aids. While this may seem obvious to you, the way that rooms encourage people to put everything in a locker can make it hard to go against this social rule if they do need things.
- A great bonus is if you have the ability to scale the room for different difficulties to cater for those who have intellectual disabilities, but might still enjoy some aspects of the room, especially if it is highly themed. This could involve making language free versions of the puzzles, simplier puzzles, or even removing the puzzles all together and hiding the digits to the combinations and providing a logical way to sequence them. Again this is something you would need to advertise on your website and encourage people to ask for when booking, but it’s also worth reaching out directly to groups that might be interested in coming – and there are many day programs looking for activities to take their participants too that would love this kind of activity
