This has been a bit of a shift for them, because in most board games we play, they are competing against each other. One thing I love about escape room games is watching my kids work together. (Joey wanted to be involved too, so we gave him a scrap of paper from the game and a pair of scissors so he could “help” cut it out like Jade and Pearl.) Once they found each answer, they checked with me to see that it was the right answer and then moved on to the next challenge. Kids must complete each challenge before starting the next challenge. This kids escape room game has three challenges. I used the timer on my phone but you could also use a kitchen timer. In about fifteen minutes of prep time (including waiting for the printer), the game was ready for the kids! (And it was a good thing it was that quick, because I had to keep chasing them out of the room while I tried to set up the game for them!)īesides paper and a good ink cartridge, all you need for the game is some scissors, glue and a pencil. I stapled two pieces together, organized all the pieces into the three separate challenges, cut out six character cards, and traced a number onto one piece. Once you’ve successfully printed all the pieces of your escape room kit, there’s a few things you need to set up for the kids before they can start the game. For a few of these, I made them work, and for a few, I had to reprint them. Apparently, I’d just printed something two-sided and so our escape room pieces came out printed on both sides of the paper. When I went to print again, I forgot to check the printer settings. I did this the first time I tried printing the game, but my printer ran out of ink so I had to cancel printing and get a new ink cartridge. Just a note here… check ALL your printer settings before printing. I downloaded the escape room game and then printed it on card stock for the girls. As you enter the room, the door slams shut, leaving you locked inside while the walls start closing in slowly. Walking around, your curiosity leads you to a secret room, one in which no one has set foot for over a century. You decide to go there and learn some of his greatest tricks and illusions.

The 150-year-old house that belonged to the most famous illusionist Houdini is now a museum. Even if kids aren’t familiar with Houdini, the story for the game quickly draws them in:

Pearl (age 5) helped cut out a few of the pieces. Jade, Lily and Sunshine (ages 7 to 12) completed all three challenges entirely by themselves with twenty minutes to spare. Houdini’s Secret Room is a kids escape room game for ages 9 to 13.

I received a game download in exchange for my review all opinions expressed are my own.

Just buy the game, download it, print it, and you’re ready to go! We recently tested out Houdini’s Secret Room… And the printable escape room kits for kids from Escape Room Geeks makes playing games as a family even easier. We’re discovered that Escape Room games combine the best of these into one experience! Working together to solve the clues and “get out” of the room before the timer ends has been tons of fun.
