How long does this activity take to complete?
It really depends on a lot of things. Estimated completion time is 45+ minutes but it’s based on the kids’ puzzle skills, how hard the puzzle is to find, and age. Younger kids may need help with decoding the puzzles. We recommend ages 8+.

How many kids can play at once?
Kids can play individually, with friends, or in large groups. There really is no limit to the number of players. 

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. There are 6 types of puzzles, each one being used 3 times. If they get stuck, hint cards have been included to guide them and provide examples. This is meant to be a challenge!

Where do kids start?
Kids can complete the puzzles in ANY order! They may also begin in any location of your house. You will start by reading the “Case File” and going over the directions.

How do kids know if their answers are correct?
There is an answer key provided in the PDF. Also, any scratch paper can be used if they need more room to decode the answers.

How do I set up the detective game?
To set up the murder mystery 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! If you prefer to just spread the clues out on the kitchen table, that works too!

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!

How are Think Tank Murder Mysteries different than others?
First of all, ours are kid friendly and we never use ‘murder’ as the crime. Secondly, our escape rooms + scavenger hunts detective games are unlike any others! What sets us apart is the element of PUZZLE decoding! Other products simply give clues, there’s no “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, ours is the ONLY ONE where you only have to print out the answer sheet/notes sheet for each kid or group. Just one set of the actual Game Puzzles is all you need!
