Play an Escape Room Kit at home!!

Escape Game Kits is an online company that provides excellent at home Escape Room Kits to play. These can be played either with your family, friends or at a party. It’s an excellent way to have fun with an Escape Room Kit at home!

After you purchase your choice of kit (you are given age guidelines so know what is most appropriate) you just need to print the pages, cut and stick as needed and set it up around your house.

How do you set it up?

You will need to print of the PDF that is sent to you. Be sure to have plenty of printer ink ready. You’ll then need to cut the various pieces out and create envelopes. It was easy to do and well explained.

After everything is ready to go you can decide where each clue is going to be in the house. In order to add some excitement for each clue I hid the envelopes around the house.

After you’ve done this you are ready to go!

Who can play?

The Sleeping Curse, which is the one we played, is recommended for ages 6-10. Our daughter is 5 and she fully understood the game. With our guidance, was the lead in solving the clues. Our 2 year old obviously didn’t have much of a clue what was going on but was very excited to join in where she could.

Some of the other kits are for older children, teenagers or adults.

Playing the game

We decided that I would be the ‘Games Master’ and over see the playing of the game, making sure everything was going according to plan. My husband helped the children with finding the various clues hidden around the house.

The information on playing the game was perfect, this made it really easy to play and there were no points at which we were confused. This kept it flowing and fun for the children.

Did we crack the code?!

We did!!! Once we cracked the code I told the children that there was a prize hidden in the room – some sweets and a sticker book, to reward their hard work.

Final thoughts

This was EXCELLENT. We did it whilst in lockdown during the Coronavirus Pandemic and it was such a wonderful treat to have fun with an escape room kit at home. It was lovely to work as a team to crack the code and everyone was really engaged in it.

I would highly recommend it to anyone. We will definitely be doing again, I think it would be really great for a children’s party!
