We are excitedly setting up our escape room this minute. I have never done one before, so this seems like rocket science! I wish there were a page that explained the goal of each puzzle to the participants. I guess I will just wing reading hopefully the right things to get them started! I think I am too old for this.... 😅
Hi! What makes escape rooms in general unique from other activities is that the participants get to figure out all the clues on their own simply by exploring the items in the room and building connections. It's the mystery of figuring everything out that adds an extra level of excitement to escape rooms. Page 1 of the PDF does have a short intro to the room for them, but you can always give them clues if they get stuck. I've found that they normally figure out everything on their own, though, if they just give it extra time to work through anything that doesn't seem obvious at first. Sometimes they'll set aside one puzzle and solve a couple more puzzles before they come back to the original puzzle and can make more sense of it then, or they may have found another needed clue by that point to help them solve it. Thanks for the feedback though! That's a great suggestion, and we'll consider adding a "beginner's guide" for future escape rooms for anyone who hasn't been in an escape room before. Thanks for the suggestion! :) Enjoy the escape room! We're excited for you to participate!
Just received The Grinch Saving Christmas Escape Room . Can't wait to do it Christmas Eve . I have one question . On the ornament wreath where do you put the ornament for 7:15 ?
You can place it a quarter way from the location of 7:00 on a clock toward 8:00 on a clock in the bottom-left quadrant of the clock. We're so excited for you to enjoy the escape room!
HI! It usually can be completed in an hour by around 4-8 people. For each group, I would plan about 8 people maximum for everyone to be able to enjoy solving the puzzles. If you need it to be completed in less than an hour, you could always just give them clues every 10 minutes or so to help them solve puzzles or make connections faster. Enjoy!
I trying to purchase the printable templates for the Grinch Escape Room, but your website won't accept my payment. I tried multiple options, including Visa, MC and Google Pay. All of my options are valid but your website won't accept the payment. AND there is no way to contact you! Please get back to me.

This is great, considering for a junior high class party - about how long does this take? How many people per group works best?
