Description

This is a pocket escape room with a Christmas theme. It’s only two pages to print (one if you print double-sided!), with each puzzle fitting in your hand or pocket. Easy to take with you, or to play in a small space, or to play in other non-ideal circumstances (such as by candle light).

It has 10 puzzles that should be played in order. Each puzzle leads to a number, which tells you which puzzle to unlock next. Yes, this means the puzzles are a bit “mathy”: you don’t need to read anything, but you need to know your numbers and simple addition/multiplication.

The advantage of a pocket escape room is the simplicity, shorter duration, lower price and less setup/printing costs. The disadvantage, of course, is that the puzzles are rather simple and you can’t solve multiple puzzles or clues in parallel. If you want a bigger and more strongly themed escape room, try something like our Christmas of Chaos for families instead!

Charm: Printable Escape Kit

This product is part of the Printable Escape Kit charm.

Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:

Printable Escape Kits are escape room experiences meant to be printed (and thus played physically, offline).

Escape Rooms are a combination of puzzles and mysteries that you try to solve as a group, so you can “escape” before time runs out. Because every puzzle presents a revelation or new information, they are great educational tools.
