Kids Escape Room Printable

The only way out is the hatch on the deck, and the hatch has a word lock. Six puzzles are hidden through the wreck. Solve them all, take one letter from each, and say the word before the water reaches the second step.

★ MADE FOR AGES 7–12 ★

Every answer is a word your child already knows — PARROT, CANNON, COMPASS. The puzzle is the work, never the vocabulary. There is a word search, a number code, a logic puzzle, an anagram, a missing-letters sheet and a riddle, so different kinds of thinker each get their moment.

★ WHAT'S INSIDE — 19 pages ★

• Host Guide — run it without solving it first

• At a Glance — the whole room on one page

• Difficulty Card — GENTLE, STANDARD or SEALED

• The Story — read aloud to start the clock

• 6 Puzzle Sheets — each one gives a letter

★ THE HOST DOES NOT HAVE TO SOLVE IT FIRST ★

Every answer is on the last page, and on the third hint card of each puzzle, which folds so only its label shows. Print it, hand out the sheets, start the clock.

★ HINTS THAT COME IN THREE STEPS ★

Hint 1 is a nudge. Hint 2 is a big nudge. Hint 3 is simply the answer. A stuck child stops playing — these make sure that never happens.
