Setting the scene for the party is a fantastic activity in itself! After all, this is a DIY Escape Room. So it’s up to you to upgrade it!
Gather around your loved ones and decorate the party space accordingly. For a memorable 4th of July party, make sure to include:
Patriotic flags and banners;
A special table setting in distinct patriotic colors;
Colorful lights like fairy lights or paper lanterns;
A fun photo booth with fun props and decorations to pop up in your photos.
Create anticipation for your party with digital 4th of July invitations! A modern alternative to paper invitations, surprise your guests and ease the planning process.
We design all of our games for an average playtime of an hour. But that can greatly change how the game is actually played.
A party environment is usually not the most under-pressure setting. A small talk between puzzles, a fetch of drinks, or even small breaks may interrupt the game. But no need to worry about it! Unlike a real-life escape room, you’ll not be kicked out of the game after 60 minutes. Printable escape rooms for the win, right?
As you may have noticed, printable escape games are so versatile to use. And the number of players is no exception!
We believe that the ideal team size is four players. Why? Because a printable escape room requires physical manipulation of the game materials to solve the escape room puzzles.
Are five players too many? Of course not! But make sure you use a large surface area to play. Everyone should be able to touch and handle the escape room puzzles in order to solve them.
Have a larger group? Split it into teams! Compete with one another for escape, or play the 4th of July Escape Room one after the other.
Nothing gets destroyed while playing, so it’s perfectly reusable!
Compared to other DIY escape rooms on the market, we eliminated the need for a game master for the 4th of July Printable Escape Room. The person setting the game up can also join the fun!
If players get stuck, they can directly access hints and solutions for each of the ten puzzles. Everything they need is included in the puzzle envelopes!
The perfect Internet-free escape room!
Everything sounds so good, doesn’t it? We took the stress off your shoulders.
Now that you followed our tips, you're ready to host a fantastic Independence Day party! Add our 4th of July Escape Room to the mix, and you'll create memories your guests will cherish forever.
An easy-to-set-up DIY Escape Room that guarantees stress-free fun on Independence Day. We promise you an unforgettable time!
