This travel-themed escape is designed for adults or teens as it is a moderate difficulty level and unsuitable for younger players.

    I was cleaning out my room, and found some papers and puzzles and legos with codes and symbols on it at first I was confused but them remembered 2 years ago during lockdown I made and escape the room for my family and followed this tutorial I was looking for it and found it. Brings back lot of fun memories I hope to re create this again for the family.

    For those interested in the first puzzle box: if you search youtube for diy puzzle box, you find a lot of videos that make this one or a variation on it.

      I made a mini escape room for my girlfriend, and I did use some of your puzzles:
      - The word maze
      - The code with things like [] [. V
      - The text over 2 pages (and I modified it a bit: It was on 1 page, but one part of the letters was in ballpoint, and the other half became visible when using a blacklight. This was the only puzzle with a hint "When you can't see in darkness, turn on some light")
      She took 5-10 minutes (like I said, mini) and the reward was a printout of our very first messages, that I then laminated.
      She loved the puzzles and reward. I definitely will reuse this type of puzzles if I ever make a larger room for friends or something!

    Thank you so much, this was very helpful! My 14th birthday party is coming up in a few weeks and this year I really wanted to do something fun that me and my friends could actually enjoy. After going to a professionally run escape room for a friends birthday, I decided I would make my own to have my guests try to do. I really didn’t have a lot of ideas though when it came to actual clues and puzzles that I could make on my own. I will be using several of your brilliant ideas for my Sherlock Holmes themed escape room. Thank you for the inspiration!

    I think I need that book with the hidden compartment for stashing candy from my family. That little lizard box would probably be a safe way to keep it to. Opening that thing is quite intricate haha! There were a lot of great, detailed clues! You did a great job putting it together! That looked like a lot of fun for the kids...and even your husband :)

    • @DowntheWrabbitHole

  • @ddday100
    @ddday100 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I love this. I was thinking that this can also be done using a notebook with pockets. The clues and puzzles can be placed into the pockets. If you do not have a physical space this can be designed and redesigned at will. An escape room is the modern equivalent to the old computer adventure games.

    • @DowntheWrabbitHole
      @DowntheWrabbitHole  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I love going to real escape room places - they have entire rooms or series of rooms decorated to the max, with super creepy mysteries and sometimes people pop out at you. But for an at-home one, this was pretty fun. I'd love to make a super scary one in the future, one that the kids couldn't even go in! ;)
