Frequently asked questions
How do I run an escape room at a birthday party?
Print the kit, hide the station cards around the house so each answer leads to the next, read the opening story and start a timer. The last code opens the prize.
What do I need besides a printer?
Usually just scissors and an envelope or a small box for the prize. Each room lists its props.
