DIY escape puzzle at home

One person hides a chain of clues and locks around the home; the others solve them to "escape" before time runs out.

How to do it

  1. The game master writes five to eight linked clues, each pointing to the next.
  2. Hide the clues using codes, riddles and boxes with simple number locks.
  3. Set a timer for 45 to 60 minutes and let the team begin.
  4. Give a hint if they are stuck; the final clue reveals the way out.
