1. Choose your team wisely(01 of10)
Open Image ModalYour team are arguably the most important part of your Jailbreak adventure, so having a good one is crucial. Remember that you’ll be spending up to three days together, and this isn’t going to be a journey without bumps. Any small tensions there are at the beginning will be unbearable by the end, so don’t sign up if you’re not going to get along. Jailbreaking with any kind of romantic interest is not advisable: this will not be a pretty trip. (credit:VladislavMakarov via Getty Images)
