Editorial Standards

How we research, write and update the guides on The Final Clue.

Sources

Facts about the history and the business of escape rooms come from published reporting and reference works, and we link to them under each guide. Safety advice follows what venues and local authorities publish. Where a detail differs from venue to venue, such as group size, age limits or how hints work, we say so and suggest checking with the venue.

No spoilers

We explain puzzle types and ways of thinking, never the solutions to a particular commercial room. Example puzzles on the site are our own.

Independence

No venue or company pays to appear on the site and we do not use affiliate links. Photographs come from free stock libraries and are credited to their photographers.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it and update the date on the guide. You can reach us through the contact page.
