Halloween Escape Room for Kids 6-10 Printable Party Game with Answer Key

A ready-to-print Halloween escape room for children aged 6-10, for a class party, birthday or family Halloween night. Teams of 2-4 children (4-12 children in total) help Grizelda Moss, a friendly witch, by solving 7 linked puzzles. They collect 7 Moon Letters, spell a secret password and use a cut-out Moon Key to open the Spell Chest of treats. Allow 60-75 minutes. The PDF has 25 pages and comes in both A4 and US Letter sizes. Print it before 31 October.

What's included:

• 25 printable pages in A4 and US Letter PDFs (print at 100%)
• A story, a mission briefing and a team Moon Letter sheet
• 7 puzzles that get steadily trickier: creature counting, riddles, backwards words, a shape decoder, a cut-out cipher wheel, a monster line-up logic puzzle and potion maths
• A cut-out cipher wheel (two discs and a paper fastener)
• A password page, a Spell Chest letter grid and a cut-out Moon Key mask for the final unlock
• 24 hint cards in three levels for every puzzle and for the final unlock, plus 12 hint tokens
• A host guide with a setup timeline, a running order, tips for younger and older groups and a hunt mode
• Invitations, name tags, door sign, Moon Chest label and Bat Guard badge
• Certificates, 2 per page
• A full answer key with a step-by-step walkthrough for every puzzle and a troubleshooting section

How to use:
1. Download the PDF in your browser or on a computer, then choose the A4 or US Letter file.
2. Read pages 2-4 for the print list and timeline, and check the answer key (pages 23-24).
3. Print at 100% / Actual size. Use thicker card for the cipher wheel (page 12) and the Moon Key (page 17). The puzzles work in black and white too.
4. Cut out the cipher wheel and join the discs with a paper fastener. Ask an adult to cut the 10 windows in the Moon Key. Fill a small box with treats and stick on the label.
5. Split the children into teams, read the mission briefing aloud and hand out the team packs. Use the hint tokens and cards for any team that gets stuck.
6. Check each team's password. The Bat Guard (you) hands over the grid and the Moon Key. The team reads the message, opens the chest and collects certificates.
