As the Enneagram skyrockets in popularity, the number of people wanting to understand the Enneagram types rises with it. And since escape rooms are the best way to learn people’s behavior under stress, we’ve researched how to spot each sign in a room and learn the Enneagram types in an escape room. Maybe you’ll even learn which one you are!
Type 1
Dubbed the “perfectionist”, this type excels at identifying and correcting errors. Ones love organization and order, so a chaotic escape room experience is a nightmare for them. When they’re under unhealthy stress they become hypercritical of themselves and others. They strongly value efficiency, so they’ll spend their time in the room working to ensure everything is running smoothly and everyone remains productive.
Type 2
Everyone needs a support system, and the “helper” type is your best bet for a ride-or-die. Especially under stressful circumstances, twos love to encourage their teammates and do whatever it takes to help everyone. This person is the type to be bouncing around the room and giving aid to anyone who is struggling. They’ll offer any advice they can. Twos can become irritable and when they feel unappreciated for their efforts- remember to say thanks!
Type 3
Threes are a bit of an enigma. On one hand, they’re considered the ambitious Enneagram type with exceptional work ethic. However, they can also be skillful procrastinators and highly apathetic. Because of this, threes are either leading the charge with the one and eight, or they’re dawdling with the nine. Either way, they’re a good addition to your team because they have the ability to either take the room seriously or just have fun.
Type 4
Enneagram fours value individuality and want to be valued by their team. They are able to fit any role and work hard to ensure the success of those around them. However, they become volatile and unproductive if their efforts either don’t benefit their team or go unappreciated. Understanding this Enneagram type and their desire to be seen and appreciated can be your ticket to success in an escape room.
Type 5
As the intense type, fives are typically one of the more independent people in the group. Especially in escape rooms requiring deeper thought, Enneagram fives are priceless additions to your team. Their independence can be an issue when stressed. It can cause the five to withdraw into themselves instead of playing as a team. It’s typical of this type to be reluctant to share their thought processes with others, but once they break this barrier there’s no stopping them.
Type 6
Loyal sixes are phenomenal teammates who stick with you and the group. They understand teamwork is the master of efficiency. However, they also may be the pessimists of the group because they can be chronic overthinkers. Once they can focus on the task at hand though, they can shoulder two teammates’ worth of work.
Type 7
Ever the scatterbrained type, sevens are constantly moving around the escape room. They are either solving multiple puzzles in the room at once or doing nothing at all. Like the three, they’re on one side of the pendulum or the other. Like sixes, it just takes a bit of focus to change the game. With the speed at which they move, when they’re on their A game, records can be broken.
Type 8
Enneagram type eights might be the easiest to spot. They will immediately assert themselves as a leader because they naturally resist being controlled- they know how to get things done. They may come off as abrasive, but it’s only because they want so badly to succeed. Understanding this Enneagram type’s drive and how it changes their behavior is the best way to work with them and follow their unstoppable lead to victory.
Type 9
The final Enneagram type’s behavior varies greatly based on their level of health and mentality, so they can be a bit difficult to type. Nines are chameleons, but you can always detect the nines when they give away their go-with-the-flow, conflict-resistant nature. They might end up being the least productive under pressure as they try to ease everyone else’s stress instead of solving the puzzles.
Are you ready to take your friends and family to an escape room? You might be surprised by their behavior, or maybe you knew all along!

Awesome experience with Sean our Game Master. Easily top tier escape room with very immersive experience. I prefer not being able to ask for clues, rather the GM providing them if we really got stuck, which kept us fully in the vibe.

So fun! This was my first escape room experience and my 12 yo daughter and I had the best time! We solved The Speakeasy with less than 3 minutes to spare. Lots of laughs and the rooms were decorated so well. We can’t wait to go back! (Worth mentioning the AC was perfect and the bathrooms were sparkling clean!) Our game master Aiden was so kind and helpful - she made our day!

We did the Egyptian Tomb and it was a super fun escape room, Bailey was our Game Master and was super helpful and really nice. I do a LOT of escape rooms so I can confidently say the puzzles were fun and just challenging enough, I loved the tactility of everything, and the theme was extremely well-executed. We got out with 18 and a half minutes to spare and apparently did really well on the hardest puzzle 😎

My kids (6 and 10) and I had a great time doing the Casino Heist room! It was challenging, and I'm sad to say we didn't make it, but we still had a ton of fun trying. Jake was friendly, thorough, and helpful with hints without giving anything away, all around a fantastic game-master!

Helen was great! We did the speakeasy room in a public group. I would definitely come back in a smaller group!

Finished both the Vampire Hunter and Casino Heist room. Very fun puzzles and the staff if very helpful. Vampire hunter is their newest room and I will say it's probably top 3 escape rooms I've done.

Ollie was awesome. We had a great time and the room was a really cool new design. A few small things to iron out for a new room, but super fun! We’ll definitely be back
