These Escape Room Puzzle ideas are perfect for everyone aged 10+ they are completely free and will make your escape room party the best ever!
Welcome back to school! Over the summer, my husband and I played an Escape Game. If y'all aren't familiar, the concept is that you are "locked" in a room that is filled with clues to help you escape. The clues usually involve code-breaking, riddle-solving and just plain old hide-n-seek. We had so much fun that I decided to bring the concept to the art room. I thought it would be a great way to introduce my kids to the rules, routines and the space that we call the art room. It was such a blast that I thought I'd share it with y'all! As the students entered the art room, I had one kid stand at the door and pass out these small slips of paper. There were 7 different colors with about 5 of each. This year I average about 32 third and fourth graders per class so I needed to make sure I had enough for everyone. Once seated on the floor, I started this video: A whole lotta (poor) editing went into this bad boy. Apparently I forget to edit the part where I adjust my wig. AND, if you make it all the way to the end of this video, you'll catch a look of how I really felt wearing that too-tight head piece and super-sweaty pleather jacket. Regardless, the kids ATE.IT.UP. Just before I let them have at it, I read them the wee rules of the game... Now, if you're worried that the kids will get a lil to wild playing this game, I found a sure-fire trick: Tell them there are SPIES watching. I fibbed to the kids and told them that before class had started, I had pulled aside a couple of kids to be my spies. Their job was to listen and share the secrets they overheard with other teams. Oh my goodness, y'all. Those fourth graders took that so seriously it was bananaz! My only other rule was no running...I have a big room and there was A LOT of excitement. But we can't be running in the art room, y'all. Once I gave them the go-ahead, the kids immediately teamed up and went to their coordinating table. There they found this: To make things easy for myself, I made all the puzzles identical. Some kids figured out that they were just to look for the yellow heart...but my rule was that all puzzles had to be solved before moving on to the next. My favorite was when one team said, "our puzzle is too hard!"...and I'm all, "Dudes. They are all the same." Once the puzzles were solved, the kids went in search of their heart. I made sure to hide these pretty well so it was a bit like an Easter egg hunt. Once they found their box, the kids discovered the following inside: A dry erase board and marker, a decoder and a code to solve. Each of the seven boxes contained riddles which revealed the class rules. They were to solve the riddle and return to our spot on the floor with their dry erase board. Just in case you'd like to use the code feel free! The Rockin' Riddle Rules the kids solved here: have fun, be respectful, follow directions, raise your hand, take pride and be nice. They were highly engaged, that's for sure! Once everyone had their rules, I played the next clip in the video where I chat about each rule. Then we were on to a self-guided room tour complete with a back-stage pass. (Yes, we refer to the place to put our dirty paint brushes as a "hot tub". Don't judge.) I tried to think of the places in my art room where the kids would visit the most. I also came up with fun clues to help them find those places. I had specific dry erase marker colors in each spot so they couldn't just write the answers in. Also, I had them go to the places on their pass in the order listed so we wouldn't have any traffic jams. A peek at how I labeled the places and placed the markers. Where we play the Smartest Artist game. After the passes were full, we met again on the floor. In the next part of the video, I take them on a tour explaining the different places in the art room and emergency procedures. The final phase of the game was a "solo mission". Each artist was given three Post-It's and a Sharpie. They could pick from any of the six questions on my board to answer in a complete sentence. Once finished, they returned to the floor where we played a quick round of Smartest Artist before heading out the door. You.Guys. I hadn't had a chance to read what they had written until this morning. It made my day! I mean... This was only after a couple of classes had a chance to write. I can't wait to see these filled up! I plan to hang them around the school for our Open House Night. Because my focus is Peace, Love and Kindess this year, this is an important question for my kids. Their responses let me know that they KNOW the answer...we just gotta make it happen. Thank you for allowing me to share this super fun way to kick off the school year! Feel free to steal any ideas you see here. I'd LOVE to know if you do this kind of thing with your students. The kids told me that they are excited to play this kind of game again...which can only mean that this will be a new and fun way to introduce new concepts to the kids. An Elements of Art Escape Game, anyone?! YES, PLEASE!

Wie ich bereits in mehreren Postings beschrieben habe, haben wir zu Niklas' elftem Geburtstag ein Escape-Room-Spiel in seinem Zimmer gemacht. (Das Konzept der Feier findet ihr hier.) Um es den Kinder nicht allzu einfach zu machen, hatte ich zwei Hinweisstränge eingebaut, die in eine Sackgasse liefen. Bei dem ersten, den ich euch heute vorstellen möchte, habe ich mir besonders viel Mühe gegeben. Ich habe nämlich ein altes Buch präpariert, was mir ein wenig Kritik seitens des Geburtstagskindes eingebracht hat, weil ich eigentlich sehr darauf achte, dass mit Büchern umsichtig umgegangen wird. In eine Reihe von Buchseiten habe ich ein Loch geschnitten, so dass bei geschlossenem Buch ein Hohlraum entstand. In dem Hohlraum war ein Zettel versteckt. Auf dem Zettel stand, dass die Zahlenkombination nur aus einer Ziffer bestünde. Die Angabe war korrekt, bezog sich allerdings nicht auf das Beautycase, in dem der Schlüssel zum Verlassen des Raumes versteckt war, sondern auf diesen kleinen Tresor, der auf der Fensterbank deponiert war. In dem Tresor befanden sich Süßigkeiten, die dann auch erst einmal vernascht wurden. Liebe Grüße Claudia
Introduction As I’ve mentioned elsewhere pretty much anything can be made into a puzzle. With a bit of work any everyday activity can be turned into a puzzle. While you’re getting started – it’s probably easiest to use / repurpose puzzles that you’ve seen in newspapers or used in gameshows or in mobile Apps. You can even go and buy a children’s spy book for inspiration. I would recommend testing individual puzzles in isolation with willing playtesters before included it in your Escape Game.
These escape room kits claim to be the easiest way to be an escape room designer for a night. Turns out they're pretty good.

This escape room is a scavenger hunt style activity that includes seven interactive challenges related to managing emotions skills. Students work together to solve a variety of puzzles and challenges in order to discover the secret phrase to unlock the door and win the challenge in a specified amount of time. This escape room activity is ideal for small groups, advisory periods, or resource rooms. A whole-class version is also included! What is an Escape Room? An escape room activity is a challenge that allows kids to work together solving a variety of puzzles in order to "break out" of a room. After each puzzle is solved, they will get a clue that leads them to a new location. Each new location includes a keyword to win or "escape" the room and a new puzzle. Escape rooms are great to have kids and young adults working collaboratively using their critical thinking skills. After setting up the room, you will introduce the escape room challenge to your students by explaining that superheroes want to share their skills ! In order to get out, students must use their powers of managing emotions to outsmart the zombies. Students are instructed that they only way they can leave is to follow a series of challenges to uncover a special phrase to unlock and open the door. Best of all, they must use their knowledge of growth mindset to do so! You may provide hints along the way or offer "Hint Cards" as a accommodation for kids who may need extra support with the challenges. How Much Prep is Required? You will need to print and cut the puzzles, using the visual guide to help you. Then, you will need to place them in envelopes or folders so that groups will work on only one challenge at a time. Note that some puzzles you can choose to just leave as is without cutting to reduce your prep! How to Use for Small Groups Directions with visual directions are included to make the setup as easy as possible! To set up, you will print and put together each puzzle set in an envelope. Then, you will hide each envelope in its designated location. Locations may include: near the window, under a recycling bin, near a binder, and more. It is recommended to hide the envelopes so that students have to search in the designated location to find. How to Use for Whole Classes For the whole-class version, you will create sets of envelopes for each group with the clues and materials inside. Each group will work on the challenges together. When a challenge is finished and they know the "password", they will raise their hand to tell you privately. If they have the correct password, they will advance to another challenge and you will give them that envelope! Best of all, each group can be working on difference challenges, as you do not have to go in order. Note that a separate version is included for you to write in your own key phrase. This is important if you are running multiple groups throughout the day and don't want any students to "spoil" the keyword for the challenge. Incorporate Skills for Managing Emotions Skills for managing emotions are incorporated into every puzzle and challenge! Students will discuss and learn to identify emotions, make a positive choice, express emotions using I statements, develop proactive strategies for emotions, use self control, and develop coping strategies for stress. Both color and black/white versions are included!
