This article is a pedagogical review to searches for long-lived particles at the LHC, primarily aimed at experimentalists and theorists seeking to initiate and/or deepen their research in this field. We cover general theory priors and example models, the main experimental techniques for long-lived particles and some of the subtleties involved with both estimating signal efficiencies and background rates.
