Customers praised this printable escape room for its "excellent" graphics, engaging storyline, and challenging puzzles that are "tough" yet solvable. Perfect for teens and adults at parties or classrooms. Most found it "fun and stress free" though setup requires 30-45 minutes of printing and assembly, which one customer found "a pain."
- Graphics and storyline were excellent and everyone really liked it.
- So fun and stress free! Challenging and kept their attention.
- I did these with my middle school students and they loved them.

We used this for a fun Halloween dinner party and had a lot of fun.
You have to print 20 ish pages (less if you don't print the envelopes and just use regular envelopes) Cutting and assembling was very straightforward and took about 30-45 mins. I used a cutting mat and knife.
Our group of seasoned escape room and boardgames nerds, finished the game relatively easy and quick. So if you're looking for a very difficult game, this one might not be it. But it was perfect as a game to add some Halloween fun to a dinner party.
Some "modifications"* I made were:
- adding some actual props (boxes, scrolls, keys etc.)
- include the players more by giving them all an envelope at the start of the dinner with some of the clues (instead of putting them in the envelopes)
*But these modifications are definitely not a must. Especially if you want to play along (instead of being the story teller), you may not want to do these as you'll get spoiled.
Have fun!

Difficulty: Just right

I needed some entertainment for a halloween diner-part. The guests were entertained and a good time was held by all.
It did take effort to read small cursive red text with dim candlelight.

This was such a great activity for my daughter and her friends and it was actually pretty tough and we needed the clues for a couple of them. Graphics and storyline were excellent and everyone really liked it.

So fun and stress free!!! I ordered and downloaded the Vampire room for a group of 16 teenagers aged 14-19 and they loved it! Challenging and kept their attention. The first group solved the room in 44 minutes! The second group was 45 - the adults had to look at the hints!! 😂😂 It does take some time to print and assemble. You do need to plan for that! We will definitely use this seller again! Looking at a Christmas one for the office! Thanks!
