Step by step
How it works
Buy & download
Instant download from Etsy. Open the one-page Quick-Start first.
Print & hide
Print the cards (black and white is fine) and hide them around the home. A hiding plan is included, even for a small flat.
Solve & search
Each puzzle gives a number. The map says where the next card is hidden. Kids collect clues and cross out suspects.
Name the culprit
Everyone agrees on who did it, then opens the sealed Top Secret envelope to check.
What exactly do I get?
A digital download: printable PDF files in colour and ink-saver versions, A4 and US Letter. Nothing is shipped. You buy on Etsy and download the files straight away from your Etsy account.
What age are the games for?
Most games are for kids aged 6 to 10 (the spy mission goes up to 12). Each game has two levels, Junior and Expert, so brothers and sisters of different ages play the same mystery together.
How does a game work?
A grown-up hides the case cards around the home. The kids solve the puzzle on each card; every answer is a number that points to the next hiding place on the map. Along the way they collect clues, cross out suspects and name the culprit at the end.
How long does it take?
About 15 minutes to print and hide the cards, then roughly 30 to 45 minutes of play. These are our estimates. The advent calendar takes 5 to 10 minutes a day for 24 days.
Do I need a colour printer?
No. Every page works in black and white, and an ink-saver version is included. No information is carried by colour alone.
Which languages are included?
Our escape rooms include English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese in one purchase. The advent calendar is in English and French.
Is it a real escape room with padlocks?
No padlocks, no app and nothing to buy: just paper, scissors, pencils and a bit of tape. Each card has a small check sign so kids know their answer is right before they run off.
Can I use it for a birthday party?
Yes: for a birthday party, a sleepover or a family afternoon. The files are for personal and family use only, so please do not resell or share them.
