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 60 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 the "exceptional graphics" and well-organized puzzles that provide "the perfect amount of challenge." Ideal for team building, parties, and schools with groups of 2-4 players. However, some noted it can be too complicated for larger groups, with one shopper saying guests left the game. Minor issues reported with clue accuracy.

  • The graphics are exceptional and the game provides the perfect amount of challenge.
  • Both fun and just challenging enough to keep everyone engaged.
  • Kids really enjoyed the puzzles, especially how previous items were needed for later puzzles.

From the Printer to the Banquet Hall

Last year, we bought "The Pirate Box" Escape Room from Mystery Locks to use for our high school's Spring Banquet. We tweaked the story a little and gave it a "Goonies" intro, inviting the students to free "One-Eyed Willie!" We went all out, building a room that modeled the inside of a Pirate ship, complete with skeletons and treasure! The students had a blast! We are looking forward to this year's banquet as we tackle "The Venice Heist!" Thank you, Mystery Locks!

Great time was had in our Middle School Advisory Challenge!

I bought this to use for a middle school student council-run advisory challenge for our 13 advisories. It was so well organized, that even though my co-advisor and I constructed 13 copies of everything, it was easy to do. And the kids really enjoyed the puzzles, especially how previous items were needed for later puzzles. My own advisory wasn’t able to finish in the time we had, and begged me to let them finish later because they enjoyed it so much (which we did). All in all it was a terrific experience, and I would purchase other escape rooms as well!

Not engaging.

First the quality of the material and assembly instructions were top notch. Unfortunately that is where it ends. The only setup instructions was to read the intro and the game will be self guided. After printing, cutting, and gluing 30 sheets of material to assemble the game (which I knew before purchasing), the instructions said to read the intro and the game will be self guided. This led to questions right away. I emailed the creators about how you would confirm the correct solution to a puzzle without reading the last clue, which gives the solution. They responded with how the gameplay flows, but never responded to my question even after a second email asking the same question. The overall consensus of the game from most players was that it was too complicated for multiple players to play due to needing to review the clues for multiple puzzles. This game should be played with fewer players to stay engaged. If multiple copies were printed, there would be too much material making a disorganized game. If you have a small group, maybe up to four players, the you may have a better experience. Anything over that you may have guests leave the game like we did.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry for the confusion and disappointment you experienced.

When we replied to your original messages, we explained how the game flows — as that’s exactly how the answer-checking process works. The Pirate Box is self-guided by design: the introductory letter instructs players to open the first envelope to begin, and each puzzle’s correct answer leads to the number of the next envelope. If you can’t find a matching envelope, that means the answer isn’t correct. It’s a simple but immersive mechanic that thousands of players have successfully used.

We understand it can feel tricky the first time, but that discovery moment is part of the gameplay. We apologize if this wasn’t clear enough in our initial response — we genuinely thought our explanation covered your question since both emails repeated the same query verbatim.

As for group size, the game can indeed be adapted for larger audiences. One of our customers even ran this exact game with over 120 high school students, as featured here: https://meaningfulmama.com/escape-room-idea-for-large-or-small-groups.html.

We’re sorry it didn’t click for your group, but we truly appreciate the effort you put into preparing the game and sharing your experience. Your feedback helps us improve clarity for future players.

I very much liked this. I liked assembling each envelope and then when I forgot what was in each, we played it. Fairly easy, we didn't need any hints. But puzzle 10 - clue 3 & 4 need to be checked, they should be reversed. Will try another soon

Fantastic!

We enjoyed the artwork and puzzles. We added a ocean-pirates themed background soundtrack to add to the ambience and had some good chocolate coins for our kids to enjoy at the end.

What a great set-up, Stephen! We love immersive environments, so combining the game with some music and delicious treats can totally make the experience unforgettable!

Fantastic!

I got this as a game to pass the time during my daughter’s 12 year old birthday party and they loved it! I do think that one of the number clues was wrong and we just ended up picking the clue that had the number closest to it and that work but was confusing as to why the numbers weren’t coming out right.

Thanks for the feedback, Abby! We get how some puzzles might seem to lead to different answers, but we can guarantee there are no ambiguous solutions or errors in the game. We've sent you an email to help you further clarify the mentioned elements, so you can fully enjoy the game as designed.

Is this a scam?

I ordered from the website, got a receipt in Romanian and no download link. There was no response from the email address. £20 down the drain I guess. Odd that they’d ask for a review, really!

Thank you for your review and for raising this concern, Mark. We want to reassure future readers that this was fully resolved. The download email had been filtered into spam, which is unfortunately outside of our control, and once discovered Mark was able to access the game successfully.

We also followed up directly with additional links and support, and even offered a complimentary game to make up for the frustration.

We are a fully registered business (based in Romania) and all of our orders are delivered automatically — no scam involved. We regret the initial confusion, but we’re glad this story ended on a positive note.

Thank you for your feedback, Camila. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We always strive to provide the best service possible, and all of our games are covered by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee — if something isn’t clear or enjoyable, we’re happy to step in and help or provide a refund.

In this case, we weren’t contacted directly for support, so we didn’t have the chance to clarify or assist. We encourage any future players to reach out if they encounter difficulties — we’re always open and quick to help make sure every game is a fun and smooth experience.

We used this for after prom and the kids loved it! We set up the room in a pirate theme and scattered the clues around. We had them split up into pairs to solve solutions and then had the group of 8-10 do the last 1 together. This allowed us to get it done in 25 minutes, and we were able to run it multiple times through out the night. The kids loved it!

Hi Jay!

Thanks for the question!

The Pirate Box is a very popular family game, as the layered puzzle design allows all players to contribute to the gameplay. So there are many elements that the young one can help with. :)
