Category: Animals Solving Puzzles

A pair of capuchin monkeys were split into two rooms, each with half of their puzzle… and a prisoner’s dilemma twist.

I have absolutely looked on in a split-team game with bewildered frustration like Vulcan.

A pair of elephants. One goal. Neither can accomplish it alone.

That ending is really sweet. Elephants are lovely.

Do you want to see a bunch of different animals take on the same beefy, metal puzzle box filled with food? Of course you do.

Maybe these scientists were testing among different species, but escape room owners are kind of running the same test among humans… with similar results.

These ravens are trained to competitively scavenge and puzzle against one another.

It’s cool how many concepts these ravens have to grasp in order to pull this off.

So… animals solving puzzles is gonna be a thing around here.

Today we have a crow solving an escape room. It’s not labeled as such because the video is from 2014, but rest assured, if it were made today, they’d be rightly calling this a Crow Escape Room.

The thing that I find so remarkable is how the crow tests different tools throughout the process. There were moments in this video where I honestly related to the birdy…

Then I imagined this puzzle sequence in a real-life escape room and realized that some teams of humans would inevitably break the props.
