HOW TO PLAY
☑️After purchase, it takes just a few minutes for your digital file to be ready to download in your email inbox. There are 10 stations with various puzzles and code-breaking games. Some stations may be trickier than others so we’ve included clue sheets to help solve each game. Play time varies depending on how large of a group is playing. Once finished, you can save the instructions and station puzzles to play again another day.
***This product works best if it is printed in color because some of the puzzle cards are color-coded.***
How long does this activity take to complete?
It really depends on a lot of things. Estimated completion time is based on the kids’ puzzle experience, decoding skills, critical thinking skills, age and group size. See the Options Page (inside resource) for ideas on how to best use this resource based on the time you have allotted.
How many kids can play at once?
As many as you want! Personally, I prefer to let kids work on their own or with a partner, however, you can play in small groups as well! If you are working in small groups or partner, please print an answer sheet for each group. I do not suggest groups of more than 4. The reason I like to use partners is to promote competition and teamwork. Have the kids compete against each other for better engagement.
How do I set up the Escape Room?
To set up the escape room, you simply need to print and play! It’s that easy! Everything you need is included in your download. You don’t need any locks, envelopes or special equipment. To extend the game experience, you can hide the puzzle cards around the house or room like a scavenger hunt. Fun hiding spots: under the coffee table, behind a door, hanging on shower wall, in a dresser, etc. The harder they are to find, the more fun the kids have!
Do I need locks, envelopes or special equipment?
NOT AT ALL! This was created to make your life easier! Perfect for last-minute party planners! There are no fancy envelopes to stuff or odd shapes to cut out. All you will need to do is to print these documents, hide them and begin!
What if the kids get stuck on one of the puzzles?
First off, let them think for a bit! This is where critical thinking skills come in. If you have a kid truly struggling, consider showing them a hint card. The more difficult puzzles include examples. This will provide them with a guide for how to solve each puzzle. I only let kids see a hint card if they have been stuck on a puzzle for an extended period of time. You can also decide that each team or kid gets to use only a certain number of hint cards. If you set a limit to the use of hint cards, they will spend more time trying to solve the puzzles (that’s the whole goal!). Consider a limit of 3-4.
Where do kids start?
It does NOT matter the order in which they solve each puzzle. Kids will work at different paces, so don’t worry!
How do kids know if their answers are correct?
First of all, the answers to every puzzle are a common word. If their answer does not spell out a word, then they made a mistake somewhere along the way. At the end of the escape room, they will be asked to unscramble a word using letters from the puzzle solutions. If they can’t create a word, it is likely that one or more of their answers is wrong.
Who can play the game?
We recommend ages 8+. However, younger kids can definitely play if they have help from an adult or older kid.
How much space do I need?
That’s up to you! You can do the whole experience at the dining room table, spread out on the floor or even on the couch if you wanted. You can also spread the puzzles out throughout the house and turn it into a scavenger hunt if you so choose.
How are Think Tank Escape Rooms different than other printable escape rooms?
Our escape rooms are unlike any others! What sets us apart is the element of NO-PREP! They are print and go ready with NO PREP required from the host! Perfect for someone who wants to try an escape room at home but doesn’t want the hassle of cutting out puzzle pieces, folding handmade envelopes or taping shapes together. We are truly the ONLY NO-PREP escape room on the market!
Do I have to print out the game materials for every single kid?
Nope, not at all! Unlike other escape rooms, 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 Game Materials is all you need!
