Monster Birthday Party Game Printable, Kids Escape Room Ages 6-10, Two Levels, Monster Mystery Game & Treasure Hunt at Home

👾 The Hullabaloo Hotel Mystery is a printable monster detective game for kids aged 6–10. They play it around your home.
• Two versions of the same adventure: Junior (6–7) and Expert (8–10).
• A grown-up hides the cards and stays nearby to help.
• Cute and funny, never scary: friendly monsters who run a quirky old hotel.
• Perfect for a monster birthday party, a sleepover, a rainy afternoon or Halloween.
• Digital download: you print it at home.

THE MYSTERY
Tonight is the Monster Ball at Hotel Hullabaloo… but the golden bell that opens the ball has vanished from the reception desk! Four monsters of the hotel staff were near the desk this evening.
• Your young detectives solve a puzzle on each hidden room card.
• Every answer is a number. They find it on the Hotel Map, which shows where the next card is hidden.
• A small sign on each card lets them check their answer before they run off.
• Along the way they find 3 pieces of evidence: a waistcoat thread, a one-eyed photo and a shiny slime trail.
• They name who took the bell. Then they open the sealed envelope and find out why: a sweet and funny surprise.

WHAT THE KIDS DO
• 10 different puzzles: count the ghosts, ride the hotel lift up and down, crack the room-key code, spot the differences between two bedrooms, monster dice, tangled corridors, a luggage-tag strip to slide, a room-service barcode, a torn monster menu to put back together (they share out the pieces) and a room logic puzzle.
• They search the house, write their evidence in their Detective Notebook and agree on who did it.
• Role badges rotate during the game, so everyone gets a job.

CHOOSING THE LEVEL
• Junior (6–7): picture puzzles and very little reading.
• Expert (8–10): more steps and simple maths. A sign at reception also lets older kids catch two alibis that don't hold up, so the last clue really decides.
• With mixed ages, each child can solve their own version of the same card.

FOR THE GROWN-UP
• Start with the Quick-Start: the whole game in 5 steps, on one page.
• A hiding plan with a replacement idea for every place.
• A read-aloud script, 3 step-by-step hints for every card, and an answer key that explains the reasoning.
• Setup: about 30 minutes the first time (printing, cutting out, hiding the cards). Play time: about 25–45 minutes. Both are our estimates.
