WE HELP YOU CREATE A DIY ESCAPE ROOM AT HOME 🗝️

⏳ Gameplay: 20-30 minutes
🙋‍♂️ Age: 10 and up
👥 Number of players: up to 4 players

📜 STORY

Where black is white and down is up, you never know if what's left behind is right. Mirrors, mazes and doors to nowhere lead to empty rooms with waves of magic. Time runs backwards while you head towards a new beginning. An illusional present will turn into a delusional past. Will you escape from this mystic hazard?

⏳ GAMEPLAY

Our adventures are designed to offer 15-45 minutes of fun, based on players’ experience, skill, age and group size. For a longer experience, you can turn our games into treasure hunts by hiding the game materials around the play space and letting the players find them before starting the game or chapters.

🙋‍♂️ AGE

Our recommended age is only a suggestion. Younger players may also join the fun, but with a bit of guidance from a supervisor.

👥 NUMBER OF PLAYERS

We designed the games for up to four players, but you can adapt them no matter the size of your group. Create smaller teams and print a set of game materials for each team. Add a bit of competition and let the best team escape before everyone else!

✂️ SET-UP & ADDITIONAL MATERIALS

To set-up the game, you need nothing more than paper, the provided PDF documents, a colour printer or printing service, and a pair of scissors. For all our games (except those in the KIDS section), a phone connected to the Internet is also required to check the final answer. You don’t need any locks, envelopes or special equipment. The person that sets-up the game can also join the fun!

🎊 OCCASIONS

Our adventures are perfect for parties, date nights, family dinners, classroom activities and team building activities!

📄 INCLUDED DOCUMENTS

1. A PDF file with the instructions and game materials
2. A PDF file with the walkthrough of the game and solutions

Game Story

Step into the House of Illusions, a place where reality is distorted and nothing is as it seems. Get lost in a world where up is down, and left is right, where mirrors and mazes trick the mind and lead you to dead-ends. As time runs backwards, you must navigate through a maze of illusions and trickery to find your way out. Will you be able to distinguish what's real and what's not and escape this surreal world before time runs out? Put your skills to the test and take on the challenge of the House of Illusions.

The game does not require an internet connection to play.

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 30 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.

Puzzle for my 13yo daughter's birthday, with friend. They finished under 30 minutes. Hid each puzzle packet (chapter) with a 2nd copy of the chapter image cut out and taped up in the area where the packet was hidden. Put 7 sticky notes on the front door so they could capture each digit once figured out, regardless of the order solved. The QR code was taped above the sticky notes. They loved it !

Did this with my 11 year old and she truly enjoyed it! I love seeing the uncontrollable smile of excitement when something is figured out! ❤️
We will for sure be doing another!

This escape room is absolutely brilliant. Very clever, beautiful illustrations and just about the right level of difficulty to keep a 6, 8 and two 40-somethings old entertained.

It didn't take long to cut them out. I then hid each clue around the house and made some more clues for the kids to do a scavenger hunt round the house for each clue before we did it. This was easy to do and doubled the fun. Made the whole thing very interactive just like a real escape room.

We've now also done another brilliant escape room from Mystery Locks and will look forward to more of their beautiful games.

I've purchased and looked at different company's escape games and Mystery Locks are my favorite! All of their games are unique and so each different game that is played is a fun new experience. I use escape room games for a class I teach with a homeschool group and the kids love these! There are good quality easier ones for the younger kids and more challenging (but not too challenging ones) for the older kids. House of Illusions was a great pick for the older group. It is easy to make it more difficult by hiding parts of the puzzles for the kids to search for. Great job Mystery Locks!

By the end of this school year I will have purchased all of your games. My students absolutely love them - they groan and moan until we get into it. This is a great way to break away from the standards but get them thinking critically and working together.
