What do you think of when you hear about the room escape game?
Puzzles, clues, solutions, logic, attention, technique?
Ai putea spune că asta e treabă pentru bărbați, iar femeile nu s-ar descurca așa de bine!
Dar nu e chiar așa. Femeile pot face multe lucruri pe care bărbații nu le pot face, iar știința (și viața de zi cu zi) ne demonstrează asta.
Domnișoarelor, doamnelor, fiindcă suntem la început de martie, iar primele zile ale primăverii vă sunt dedicate, noi vă dedicăm acest articol. Vom poveste despre 5 motive pentru care femeile pot evada cu brio de la un joc room escape. Vom include și partea suculentă-a, cele concluzii la care au ajuns oamenii de știință, care arată diferențele dintre femei și bărbați sau punctele forte pe care femeile le au, genetic vorbind.
Gentlemen, this article is of interest to you as well. It will help you better understand the women in your life and communicate better with them, no matter what the situation.
Notă: Nu facem din acest articol un manifest feminist și nici nu generalizăm. Știm că suntem cu toții diferiți și că nu toate descoperirile științifice de la omul cavernelor încoace ni se aplică. Așadar semnele de încruntare de pe frunte nu sunt necesare pentru lectura articolului (dar zâmbetele sunt binevenite).
For the sake of simplicity (and not to exorcise boredom) we will not insist on figures, statistics and scientific details that take us away from the subject.
What will we do?
We will take a proven scientific fact about women and discuss it in the context of room escape games.
Women process information and thoughts faster than men. They also have better peripheral vision and hearing. That means speed and attention to detail.
Pentru un joc de room escape, jucat în echipă (2-6 persoane) aceste calități sunt neprețuite. De ce? În primul rând pentru că are miza timpului (60 de minute la dispoziție pentru a evada) și apoi se bazează pe atenția la micile indicii, la detaliile puzzle-urilor care imediat ce sunt înțelese te conduc la indiciul următor.
Dear women, your curiosity and observation can work wonders, regardless of the scenario / difficulty level of the room escape game.
The hippocampus of women is more developed than that of men
This little piece of the brain is the center of memory, which means that women have a very good, long-lasting memory. That's why you can remember in detail what happened a few years ago or where exactly you put the mustard in the fridge.
In a room escape game, there are non-linear puzzles (several can be solved at the same time) and puzzles that you must return to only after you have solved others.
A good memory helps you to remember the order of the clues and see the connection between them more easily.
The brain of men is larger than that of women, but certain parts of the brain are more developed in women.
For example: The prefrontal lobe, the limbic system and the amount of gray matter in certain areas are more developed.
This translates into excellent communication, empathy, good decision-making ability, control of emotional impulses and ease of verbalizing thoughts (it has even been shown that women think best out loud).
As a spice: The highest scores in history obtained on IQ tests are obtained by women.
How are these super powers useful in a room escape game?
We always tell the teams that visit us at The Dungeon that the secret lies in communication and teamwork.
All of the above skills allow you dear women to communicate continuously, to empathize with the team when they get stuck in a difficult puzzle, and to cooperate more than to focus on competition. This makes escaping within the set time no longer a problem.
Multitasking
It's no secret that women can do (very well even) several things at the same time, while men's approach is more linear (one thing at a time)
This ability is very useful especially in the case of more difficult room escape games, with non-linear puzzles (in the case of The Dungeon, The Bunker is such a game)
Organization
Preistoria ne arată de ce femeile au talent organizatoric. În timp ce bărbații erau la vânătoare de dinozauri (și alte bunătățuri) ele stăteau în peșteră cu copiii și aveau grije de toate. Astfel femeile au dobândit treptat priceperea de a gestiona mai multe lucruri deodată, de a înțelege importanța lor și de a le rândui în funcție de prioritate.
In a room escape game, organization is a gold mine! A chaotic approach consumes time and brings you that unwanted call from the Game-Master: You have 5 minutes left.
Bonus: Another superpower: Intuition!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your gift that no one can take from you. Due to the more developed emotional nature, your intuition works perfectly on its own. It is that 6th sense that tells you, for example, that this is not the correct code that opens a padlock or the order in which the pieces are placed in a puzzle.
Gentlemen, women's intuition should not be overestimated. Especially in a room escape game, take it as such and trust the women on your team. You will be glad you did!
There are many more things to say about women's strengths and differences between women and men, but they are enough for you to escape brilliantly and fully enjoy a room escape game!
