How to Create a Low Cost Escape Room: For Camps, Youth Groups and Community Centers

Escape rooms are live-action games where groups of people must discover and solve a series of puzzles and clues to accomplish a specific task, like solving a mystery or finding the key to escape the room, all within a specific time frame (usually around an hour). They often take place in one room but can span multiple rooms as well.

Nearly all Escape Rooms (or Puzzle Rooms) have certain things in common...
There is a theme
Participants play in groups, not solo
There are a series of puzzles that must be solved
There is a time limit

In this book you'll find...
A lot of different ideas on puzzles, clues and challenges
Theme and story ideas
A list of supplies and where to get them
Ways to supervise and give hints to groups
A sample game that you can use right away

This is a great team-building program. It's also a program that will require the purchase of supplies/equipment. While you could design a really elaborate set-up that can cost thousands of dollars, you can also do it on the cheap for a couple of hundred dollars or less, and we'll explore these options in the book.
