All our games can be played solo or in a group. There are no player-specific actions during the game, so any team size works.

For the best experience, we suggest teams of up to 5 on solving the game using a set of game materials.

For large groups, split into teams and print a game set for each.

The game works on its own without extra shopping lists. Here's what you need:

Home printer (TIP: you can use a local print shop or printing service)
A pair of scissors
Glue or tape

PAPER TYPES

Our games are designed to work on regular printer paper, but for sturdier builds and more vibrant colors, we suggest using heavier paper or cardstock for best results.

The game can be turned into a full escape room at home experience by replacing the included coded envelopes with combination locks and boxes.

WHAT YOU NEED:

6 x four-digit combination locks

6 x lockable containers

HOW TO DO IT:

Prepare the materials just like before, but without using the included coded envelopes
Use the envelope content guide to insert the materials into each container
Set the combination locks to the codes on each envelope

What Is
The Halloween Heist
?

The Halloween Heist is a printable escape room designed for kids, teens, and families. With spooky puzzles, themed story cards, and a detective adventure through Hallows Town, your mission is to recover the stolen All Hallows Key before the spirit of Halloween fades away.

How to play
The Halloween Heist

Our original game flow — unique to MysteryLocks. Simple, intuitive, and loved by thousands of families and puzzle fans. No apps, no screens, no complicated hosting — just print, prep, and play.

Read the story

Each puzzle begins with a story card that sets the scene. You’re not just solving puzzles — you’re uncovering a mystery piece by piece.

Connect the clues

Put your mind to work and solve logic puzzles, spot patterns, and crack codes. Stuck? Open a hint card for gentle guidance.

Open the envelope with your answer

Each puzzle’s solution points you to a numbered envelope. If the answer’s correct, you can open it and continue your adventure. If not, try again — the mystery won’t reveal itself so easily!

What's the story of the game?

They say the All Hallows Key has vanished, and without it, Halloween itself may fade away. The streets of Hallows Town stand silent, the Pumpkin House sealed tight, and whispers of dark magic echo from pyramids, cottages, crypts, and forgotten graves. Each clue you follow draws you closer to the truth… and the thief who dares to steal Halloween.
But the night is slipping away. The portal trembles, the suspects grow restless, and the spirit of Halloween hangs by a thread. Only by solving the puzzles and confronting the shadows can you restore balance before midnight strikes.
Can you recover the Key and save Halloween before it’s too late?

Want to turn your home into a real escape room?

Turn your printable game into a true escape room at home by adding real locks, boxes, or chests!

Every kit includes optional setup instructions that let you adapt puzzles for physical locks and containers. Perfect if you want to surprise players with a more immersive, hands-on experience.

What
The Halloween Heist
includes

From spooky puzzles to beautifully designed story cards, every piece has been crafted to immerse players in the mystery — no apps, no outside materials, no game master required.

Themed envelopes

A custom envelope design for each adventure, so your escape room looks and feels just like a real one.
