Best Christmas Escape Room to Play at Home (2024 Complete Guide)

Let me tell you about the first time we transformed our living room into a magical holiday escape room five Christmases ago. The look on our family's faces when they discovered the first hidden clue inside a glittering ornament was absolutely priceless!

Since then, we've created dozens of Christmas escape room kits, and I'm here to share the very best ones that'll make your holiday gathering unforgettable.

I still remember how overwhelmed Gabriel and I were planning everything out. There were no DIY Christmas escape rooms on the market, so we started doing our own.

Fast forward to this year, we've had a Christmas escape room kits tested by thousands of families all over the world! So we know exactly what makes a Christmas escape room truly special.

Why you can trust us:

From cozy family nights to Christmas classroom parties or adult gatherings, we have something for every occasion.

We've got you covered with options that'll have everyone talking until next Christmas.

We always love our latest releases, as we always innovate in everything we create. And Heist on the Christmas Express is no exception! After record sales and exceptional feedback from test groups, I can confidently say it's my top Christmas escape room pick for 2024.

Your guests step aboard a luxurious Christmas train where a priceless artifact has gone missing. The moment we revealed the first clue hidden in an elegant train compartment envelope, our players were absolutely hooked!

While this is not a Christmas murder mystery game, it brings a superbly elegant atmosphere to your space while playing. You'll simply love it!

When our puzzle-loving friends came over in the last week of November, we knew we needed to create something they could enjoy with their super sleuth kids.

So we took our first draft of The Christmas Star and added some extra dose of message decoding and cryptic puzzles that are both festive and intuitive to solve.

As always, we strive to keep our seasonal games as balanced as possible, so everyone can have a moment to shine during the gameplay.

Santa is Missing! has been our Christmas escape room best-seller since 2020. The festive realism mixed with the missing Santa story strikes the perfect atmosphere for a Christmas gathering.

The mix of ten brilliant puzzles will make you question everything- even if some puzzles are supposed to work in the first place (spoiler- everything is intentional)! Great fun for adults and families!

You want to know what's better than a regular advent calendar? One that turns each day into a mini escape room adventure! When we introduced this to our families last December, it completely transformed our holiday countdown. The kids would race home from school every day, eager to tackle the next puzzle together.

Remember how magical Santa's workshop seemed when you were a kid? This escape room captures that wonder perfectly! Our customers use this kit for everything from classroom activities to themed kids' parties, and it never fails to light up young faces with excitement.

If you're looking for solid holiday entertainment that won't break the bank, this is your answer. Don't let the simpler price point fool you - I've hosted this one multiple times, and it delivers just as many "aha!" moments as the premium options.

Sometimes you want a holiday escape room that isn't strictly Christmas-themed, and that's where Winter Wonderland shines. We've used this for January birthdays and school events, and it's perfect for keeping that winter magic alive even after the holidays.

From party hats, fireworks, music, countdowns, and dance steps, we've included puzzles themed around the most popular New Year's Eve traditions. We've first played this with our families back in 2021 and it's been remembered to this day.

Being a host is not about stressing out about what your guests do- relax, you're there to celebrate with them!

We craft all of our Christmas escape rooms to be enjoyed by everyone, even if they set up the game beforehand. So here are some useful hosting tips to keep things going, and stress-free:

Our Christmas escape room kits have been tested by thousands of players worldwide- what better way to showcase our passion for home entertainment!

After spending countless hours helping our customers pick and plan their ultimate Christmas escape room at home, I can confidently say there's something here for every group and skill level. 

Whether you're looking to create a new family tradition with the Advent Calendar, challenge your adult friends with Santa is Missing, or give kids an unforgettable holiday experience with The Toy Factory, these kits deliver memories that last forever.

Remember, the best kit for you depends on your specific needs - consider your group's age range, experience level, and available time when making your choice. And don't forget, sometimes the "mistakes" and confusion lead to the most memorable moments!
