Why we're obsessed with DIY Escape Rooms

We started making escape rooms for each other to play at home, and now we've designed over 100!

Before MysteryLocks was even an idea, we discovered escape room games in all possible formats. When we ran out of games to play, we started creating our own.

Solving escape room puzzles using things we found around the house, we had hours of fun! So we want you to feel the same thrill without leaving your home.

Have Questions?
We Have Answers.

Creating an escape room at home sounds too good to be true.

Got another question?
Click on the Live chat or write us at contact@mysterylocks.com.

I never played a real Escape Room. Will I be able to play?

You don't need any prior experience to play an escape room at home.

Each game includes instructions and answer sheets, as well as an intuitive gameplay.

Do I need a game master to supervise the game?

All of our games have an intuitive, linear gameplay.

No master is needed to guide the game.

I have a large group I want to prepare the game for. How many can play the game at once?

What we love about our games is the versatility.

Have a large group? Split it into small teams (we suggest up to five, but it's totally up to you).

Print a set of materials for each group, and you're good to go!

If I set up the game, will it spoil the game for me?

Setting up the game does not spoil the game in any way!

Feel free to join the game, as you're in for some great fun!

I have locks, chests, and props on hand. Can I integrate them into the experience?

Adding extra layers of complexity is always a nice touch!

All our games allow adding props, numeric locks and chests.

But as all our games are designed to be self-contained, you don't need any additional props or equipment to play.

But if you have them, you can certainly use them to make the game more fun and exciting!

Do I need to use card stock for printing?

All our games are designed for regular printing paper.

Want to go the extra mile to create a higher quality experience? Printing on card stock definitely offer the games a great look and feel!

How do I download the game?

Right on the order completion page you receive the download links for the files instantly.

To keep them safe, a copy of the download links is also delivered to your email.

Does the game end after 45 minutes?

Unlike real-life escape rooms, printable escape rooms are not time-limited.

You can take as long as you need to complete the game.

This means you can play at your own pace, take breaks if you need to, and come back to the game whenever you're ready.

Other stores do not offer refunds for digital items. What if I don't like the game?

We're confident we provide some of the most complex games you can get online.

Maybe your first try was not successful? We offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee that includes a free personalised replacement or full refund.

Customers praised this printable escape room as "well thought out" and "intuitive" for kids aged 4-12. Setup is easy with clear host instructions. Kids loved the puzzles, described as "challenging but not frustrating." Some confusion noted: lock code instructions state 6 digits but puzzle yields 7; gem/rock clue has duplicate quartzes causing ambiguity.

  • It was the biggest hit!! They spent over an hour and they were so excited the whole time!!
  • Well thought out, nice intuitive - kids get that sense of satisfaction from figuring it out.
  • Easy to set up and play, absolute fun!

This is a great set of puzzles for the age group I needed it for. Challenging but not frustrating. I used this as a socially distant safe activity for families at my public library.

We had 3 10-year-old boys solving this puzzle. I set the mood by making them walk through the door with green streamers like the story says. This was perfect alone. But, I do escape rooms with my students, so I had real locks. We made the room dark and they had to use latern lights too. We hid the puzzles around the room. I locked scissors and used balloons to hide some clues too. It took 40 minutes with the extra challenges. We will be purchasing others from this etsy group. I added hint cards too.

We just used the Gold Mine escape room game for my son's 8th birthday, and it was a hit! We went all out, using his bedroom. We made it completely dark, covered the lightswitch, and gave them battery operated candles + a lantern they had to find. They have an old school dresser, and all the drawers have locks. We took out their clothes and put a lot of the clues (along with fake clues) there, so they had to find the key to access those. The last clue led to a lockbox key with their reward, each kiddo got an individual gemstone to dig out. The only part they had trouble with was the morse code. There were 6 boys, from 6-8 years old. Thank you so much! Can't wait to try another one!

I am planning tu use it at my daughter´s birthday party. I´ll liked, but was confused because it says the lock is 6 digit but ends being 7 digit.

K
Kattie B. (United States)

Quicky shipped and a great way to introduce kids to escape room challenges. Great plot with the gold mine, what kid doesn't love that?? There is some confusion, as the first journal page states it is a six digit code to get out, and then there is a paper that has a code with the seventh number. I just omitted the last number and corresponding clue so the kids would not be confused. If this could be fixed for the future that would be great! The gem clue is also a little ambiguous, the rocks don't match up exactly, a lot of kids needed cues with that. I also laminated all of the clues as suggested and I cut up one of the clues to make the game a little longer. Overall a great game and great idea and great value! Took 9 year olds 5-10 minutes to "escape!"

I used this at event with around twenty 4th-8th graders. They LOVED it! They were in teams of 3-4. We hid the clues in color coded envelopes in a large, pitch black auditorium, where they had to search for them with flashlights...this helped set the mood! After finding their clues, they were able to solve the seven puzzles in an average of a half hour. I will definitely be purchasing more of these escape room plans. It was SO easy to set up and did not require any extra materials.

Beth S. (United States)

Grandkids loved it! The oldest said she did not want to play but took over solving it!

R
Rhea H. (United States)

Very fun! Great graphics! The kids had a blast. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is because the rock picture has 2 Quartzes which would have made the kids get the wrong number if we hadn't told them which one was the right number. Otherwise it was fantastic and I have purchased more for our subsequent escape rooms 😀

This was a perfect birthday activity for social distancing, plus it was tons of fun for two nine-year-olds. Really well done, helpful instructions, just tricky enough for kids.

F
Frieda B. (United States)

Decided to try this as a last minute add to our 7 year olds quarantine birthday and it was a hit. Easy enough for him and his 10 year old brother and 5 year old cousin to get the clues with a little nudge. I think it's priced accordingly and totally recommend it. Have suggested it to a few friends already!!!

My friends and I have become addicted to Mystery Locks escape rooms, and now the kids are wanting in on the fun too! We bought them the Gold Mine escape room and they had a blast. The older ones helped guide the younger and several times they asked for adult help, but in the end they got there and had a lot of fun working out the puzzles. Plenty enough challenge, we'll thought out and designed with beautifully considered and detailed photos, another win for us and further reinforcing our love for all things Mystery Locks!
