How does the Trivia Escape work? All you need to do is print and play… it’s THAT easy! This trivia escape room has kids working through FIVE challenges. Each challenge has 5 trivia questions and a puzzle decoder. Kids will answer questions for each challenge, then use the decoder to determine the lock codes. The puzzles progressively get more difficult. Some of the answers are NOT common knowledge, but don’t stress! The answer bank includes just TWO-THREE ‘possible’ answers per question, so if they get it wrong, they can try again with a new code and a new answer. Example: What invention was patented on Valentine’s Day? Now, this may not be common knowledge but the “answer bank” ONLY has the following answers to choose from: telephone, car. Should they get the code wrong, they can guess again. Therefore, the codes themselves are puzzles. They’ll need to use deductive reasoning to determine which answer they need to change.
You can set the activity up as a scavenger hunt and hide the “challenges” and “decoders” around the house or lay everything out on the kitchen table for family game night. The choice is yours! Kids will seek out challenges and decode the puzzle answers. The harder the puzzle clues are to find, the more fun the kids have! Kids can decode the puzzles alone or with a large group.
No PREP required, NO PROPS required, NO SETUP required, and NO LOCKS needed! Just print and go, it’s that easy!!
🧩 Gameplay: 30+ minutes (depending on age and group numbers)
🧩 Ages: 8+ (younger kids can play with the help of an adult or older kid)
🧩 Number of players: As many as you want! You can enjoy this game alone or with 100 friends!

How are Think Tank Trivia Escapes different than other escape rooms?
Our Trivia Escapes are unlike any others! What sets us apart is the element of PUZZLE decoding! Other products simply ask a multiple choice question, there’s no “puzzle solving” or “decoding”. We think our puzzles add an extra layer of fun for all! It also ensures the game lasts a little longer, so you feel confident in your purchase.
Do I have to print out the game materials for every single kid?
Nope, not at all! Unlike other games on the internet, ours is the ONLY ONE where you ONLY have to print out the answer sheet for each kid or group. Just one set of the challenges and decoders is all you need!
