This is perfect for hiding documents and feels very 007. Slice an opening in the inner lining of an old backpack or briefcase.Build a LEGO scene, such as a house, and put something inside it.Cut a hidden compartment into the pages of an old book (or use an actual book safe).

You don’t want your roommate coming home and asking why the piano sounds like a bunch of angry cats! Just make sure you don’t put anything heavy on the strings. Tape something small to the back of a picture frame or to the wall behind it. Use tape to affix something to the bottom of a desk or other piece of furniture. By specifying what’s not included, you give them a hint as to what is included. If the art on your walls might have something hidden behind it, let players know that everything in the room is fair game except, say, the light fixtures.

Use only props that clearly tie into your theme.Players can still enjoy the hunt, but they'll know for certain when they’ve succeeded in finding something relevant. Grab a pack of those little red dot stickers (or get more creative and go with something that fits your escape room theme) and place one on anything that relates to the game.If you'd like to skip making one of these you can get one here. Poke 2 holes in the bottom of the second cup.Poke 1 hole in the bottom of the first cup.In this example, we've used JOHNSON as the solver word and the start of the message is 'Red Light'Ĭhoose one of the solutions to the popsicle puzzle, or use this fun trick: You'll know when."Īlternatively, you can deliver a message like in the popsicle puzzle. Place a small key/clue inside the top cup along with a rolled-up note saying "Can't be accessed until the cup cipher is aligned. Add a bunch of other symbols and letters to the cups to hide the solution. Simply find a set of stacking cups and write a message down one side by placing one letter on each cup. This one's like the popsicle puzzle (above), but gives you the added benefit of giving someone a key or small object when solved. Players will need to make the connection that size is the sort order. Then decrease the size for each subsequent letter. Write the first letter in the Keyword quite large.Mark each popsicle stick with a different color, then put those colors in sequence on a clue somewhere (like the colors of a rainbow or a packet of colored pencils).Leave a large word hidden somewhere in the room such as using invisible writing in the Mirror Puzzle.We've placed the popsicle sticks inside a cup that has the word JOHNSON on it.Players will need to work out the Keyword in order to solve the cipher. Lastly, make popsicles out of the sticks for extra flavor. If you'd like to make it harder, add a bunch of other symbols and letters but don't go overboard as it can be tedious. We're using JOHNSON, and even with only 1 stick out of place, the message is quite unreadable). The message is only readable if they're aligned this way. Start by writing a message on aligned popsicle sticks as well as a keyword along the top. It's also a great way to turn a short word into a longer message. This is a great summer escape room puzzle because you can give everyone a popsicle at the beginning, and they only realise they're part of the game once they've chomped their way through!
