A printable family escape room for kids and adults to solve together, with a video host who runs the game.
The Pinecone Cup has vanished from Pine Hollow Community Hall, and the family awards begin in one hour. Can your team follow the clues and bring it back before the ceremony?
A printable family escape room for kids and grown-ups playing together. Ages 8+, teams of 2 to 8, about 60 minutes. Friendly and not scary: nobody stole the trophy. No padlocks or app installation. Internet access and a browser-capable device are needed for the included hosted videos; simple preparation: print, cut the marked pieces and arrange the puzzle stations.
THE STORY
The display stand wobbled during setup, so event captain June Park moved the cup somewhere safe, then got called away to help a younger team. She left a trail of clues so nobody would mistake the move for a theft. Your team sorts the scorecards, reads the award schedule, follows the route through the hall, decodes June's note and rebuilds a torn photo to find the shelf where the cup is resting.
VIDEO HOST RUNS THE GAME: SCAN THE QR. PRESS PLAY.
Scan the QR code in your kit to open a private video page made only for this game. A short How to Play video explains everything. Then the narrator runs the game: the welcome, the empty award table, each of the three rounds, the final lock and the reveal. The grown-up can play along too.
Playing on a computer or TV instead? The QR code has a short web address printed beside it. Type it into any browser and the same videos open.
