Seller's description

Printable Halloween escape room game for kids ages 7-12: instant PDF download, 9 puzzles, about 60-90 minutes of play, for 2-12 players.

Break the curse before midnight!

THE MIDNIGHT CANDY CURSE is a printable Halloween escape room for kids ages 7–12. A grumpy little ghost named Wisp has locked all the Halloween candy in a cursed trunk. Your Curse Breakers follow a trail of 9 hidden envelopes, and every answer reveals where the next one is hiding. Crack the final code, say the magic word, and the treats are theirs.

Download it tonight, print it at home, and it's ready for your party. There are no padlocks or boxes to buy, because the locks are clever paper wheels.

★ WHAT'S INCLUDED (39 pages, in US Letter AND A4)
• Game Master guide: welcome, setup checklist, game-flow chart, hiding map, timing plans, and a read-aloud start and ending script
• 9 chained puzzles: creature count, secret symbol cipher, spider maze, invisible-ink message, jigsaw clue, pumpkin code wheel, word search, logic grid, and a number potion
• 3 paper lock wheels + 1 cipher code wheel (print, cut, and join with a paper brad)
• 8 picture hiding-spot tags, 9 envelope labels, and a DIY envelope template
• 9 Moon Tokens that spell the final magic word
• Cursed Candy Trunk seal (the final lock)
• 9 hint cards (nudge, bigger nudge, answer) + a full answer key with picture solutions
• 3 party signs, 6 player badges, and a Curse Breaker certificate

★ HOW IT WORKS
1. Download the ZIP and open the PDF that matches your paper size.
2. Print, cut, and hide the envelopes (about 45 minutes of prep; the hiding map shows you where).
3. Hand the players the first envelope and start the clock. Each solved puzzle names a picture tag, and the next envelope is hiding by that tag.
