🔍 Escape Room for kids: the best ideas and tips for an adventure with the family
Are you looking for a plan that will bring a smile to your children’s faces, take them away from the screens and, at the same time, activate their neurons? Welcome to the world of escape rooms for children: the perfect excuse to combine fun, learning and that “mummy, I want to do it again!” that we like to hear so much.
Whether at home or in the park, these experiences are perfect for parties, boring afternoons or just spending quality time with the kids.
🧒 What is an escape room for children?
It’s a game in which children have to solve puzzles and pass tests to complete a mission within a time limit. But don’t let the “time limit” thing scare you, there’s no shouting or diabolical timers here: it’s all about stimulating their minds while they have a great time.
Exciting themes, adapted tests and an immersive story that makes them the protagonists of their own film. The best thing: they learn without realising it. And that, dear reader, is worth gold.
💸 How much does an escape room for children cost?
We have free mini digital kits or escape roomps for kids that are super cheap to download or already printed with all the details to just assemble and play.
That said: beyond the price, what you get is an epic memory, an afternoon without screens and an activity that stimulates real skills. Is it worth it? Yes, very much so.
What if I want to set it up at home?
Bravo! Setting up a home escape room is much easier than it looks. All you need is:
- A theme they love (Mystery, Magic or Dinosaurs…).
- Tests adapted to their age.
- An atmospheric space: lights, music, hidden objects… whatever you can!
- A simple script to tell the story and guide the mission.
You can do it yourself from scratch or, if you want to get it all chewed up, use an Epic Enigmas kit and have it ready in 10 minutes.
🎈 Why make an escape room for children?
Because while they are having fun they are:
- Practising logic and problem solving
- Learning to communicate and work in a team
- Developing creativity
- And while we’re at it, connecting with you, you’ll have a great time too.
It’s also an elegant way to get them away from the tablet without them having a riot.
📚 How to integrate learning without them noticing?
Very easy: put general culture questions, sums, scientific puzzles or clues that require the use of the head into the puzzles. Turn the game into a classroom without desks or homework.
And when it’s over, take the opportunity to chat about what they learned or discovered. That post-game moment is worth as much as the game itself.
