How to Make an Escape Room at Home
Have you thought about creating an escape room at home? Yep, it is possible. You just need the right ingredients; some puzzles and challenges, a little imagination and of course, determination!
Escape rooms have 3 main ingredients:
- The storyline
- A set of challenges and puzzles
- The clock
Usually, the main goal of an escape room is to solve puzzles, clues, riddles and other challenges before the timer runs out. These often follow a story or plotline. Whether you’re pitting your wits as a secret agent against an international crime circle or are trying to break free from imprisonment at the hands of your arch-nemesis, escape rooms try to immerse you in a mysterious environment.

Tips for Your Escape-Room-at-Home Experience
Here are some tips for making your escape-room-at-home experience as thrilling and enjoyable as possible:
Set the Tone
Escape rooms are about immersion and atmosphere as much as they are about the challenges themselves. Before you even read the instructions and storyline, make sure to get comfy, dim the lights and if you want, play some unsettling music or movie soundtracks!
Read the Guidance Carefully
Escape rooms such as those in the Epic Escapes Starter Pack should be intuitive and easy to follow. However, there are some more complicated bits, especially in the hardest of the 3 escape rooms. Make sure you read everything carefully and have a good grasp on what to do when the timer starts!
Have Fun
As cliche as it may sound, having fun is the main aim of the game. Escape rooms are challenging, exciting and they test our thinking skills, but ultimately, they’re an awesome activity to enjoy with others. Consider competing between family and friends to discover who can achieve the fastest time, or set up leaderboards to pitch new players against the best times! Whether it’s Christmas, a rainy day, birthday party or just another weekend, escape-rooms-at-home will make an excellent addition to your games cupboard!
