Halloween Escape Room for Kids: The Crane House Curse

Halloween escape room for kids and families: 6 puzzles, 2-8 players, ages 8+, 45-60 minutes, print at home.
Can your team break the curse before midnight?

Every Halloween, the little purple Crane House at the end of Hollow Lane glows with pumpkin light. You knock to trick-or-treat, the door creaks open, and... BANG! It swings shut behind you. Ezra Crane, a friendly puzzle-loving ghost in a tiny top hat, giggles: a silly curse has locked his front door, and his counter-spell is hidden in six puzzles. Solve them all, shout the spell, and the door pops open. Stuck? Then you stay for tea, and his cookies are VERY lumpy.
