I’m an author looking for ideas to spin off my books so I’m constantly subjecting my family to game ideas. I selected Houdini’s Secret Room.

Notes: There were 8 of us. Definitely too large of a group. The guys sat back and watched. I’m don’t remember why I selected Houdini — my youngest is 17, so we are far outside the target age group. We solved the puzzle with no hints but did need to put on our thinking caps.

The storyline was fun. The puzzles matched the theme and, as I stated above, made us think. They would be excellent for the intended age group.

Our only problem was with the app. When we got to the final puzzle, it would not accept our answer. We selected the correct item and received the “are you sure” message, but could not, find a way to submit the answer. We tried for a good ten minutes, inadvertently selecting the wrong item twice. But those were accidents and we couldn’t figure out how we got it to accept the answer. We finally gave up and I verified our choice in the solutions guide. A bit anticlimactic, but it was a fun night.

I ordered this for my daughter’s 11 year old bday party and it was a hit! It wasn’t too hard or too easy. They needed the hints and loved that they could get them from the app. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I printed everything out on cardstock as suggested. We did have 7 girls and they didn’t want to be separated so they did it as one big group. It was slightly too large of a group as some would feel not involved at times. Up to 5 is recommended and I should have followed that guidance. I highly recommend it to anyone!

My family (with 2 boys: 9yo + 13yo) just completed ‘Professor Swen’s Lab’ as part of a holiday family activity. It was a lot of fun, and I appreciated the app, which allowed everyone to participate. Driving the mad mobile around the map for the first challenge was fun for my 9yo. I would say it’s more age appropriate for 8-11yo kids.

Every year my Girl Scout Troop does an escape room at our last meeting before winter break. This was our fourth year, and our second year using one from Escape Room Geeks.

Today we did Houdini’s Secret Room with 13 nine and ten year olds, split into 3 groups. Everything went perfectly, and the app was an excellent addition. One group finished with 27 minutes to spare, and the other two made more use of the hints and were able to finish in time though they struggled a little more.

Everything was really well laid out, and the girls had an amazing time.

I’m seriously considering ordering another one to do at our last meeting before summer break.

We played with my wife Silver Screen Sleuths and loved every second of it. Downloading the game was all I needed to do and we could solve this after putting our kids to bed. We loved the comic style and all the puzzles are so clever. The story makes sense from beginning to the end. I hope to play more like this in the future

It was so much fun and I loved it so much thank you so much for the opportunity to do this.

My kids are obsessed with Escape Rooms but they’re so expensive. For Halloween I wanted to find one we could do at home. This was impressive! The boys (10+13yo) loved it. The app made such a difference, I think. Hopefully you can add more games to the app.

Even though it is a little tiring to billed it, it is soooooooo fun to play! And it is not to hared but still very challenging and fun!!!!!!

Downloaded the Medrano Circus Escape Room and loved the compatibility with the App. We had two teams work simultaneously on two separate iPads and it was perfect! One hiccup is that if your device is not set up to allow the app to access the camera it will interrupt the experience and you’ll have to go back to the beginning and plug in all the previous answers, make sure you use pen an paper to record. Not a huge deal, but interrupted momentum. We had two groups of 11 year olds play and they probably got 85% of the puzzles without help. We then had a group of 8 year olds attempt and they needed more help, probably closer to 50%. The music in the app really added to the experience and the spookiness. The 8 year olds got a little scared the further they advanced, but overall everyone had a great time! From beginning to end probably took just over an hour. I will definitely be back to try another escape room.

It’s full of clues and puzzles and feels so random but then it just fits together so well and that’s why I found it so amazing.

I was preparing the cybersecurity event for children at school. One of the tasks was run from the escape room. I had 3 groups so I prepared three escape rooms. Children had to cooperate to win this game. I used games from Escape Room Geeks which I was able to mix to have a great adventure for children. It was an excellent choice and children had a lot of fun. It was great that I can use those escape rooms for children in different years so it was on their level and all of them can solve challenges in similar time.

I really appreciate your help and I’m 100% sure that I will use more of your printable escape rooms in the future. Thanks for your great work!

My kids (13yo,9yo) are obsessed with Escape Rooms but they’re too expensive. For Halloween I was looking for an at-home DIY one, not at all expecting to find this gem. It’s really the app for me, but the quality of the challenges and extras make this amazing. I think they’re going to love it. I’ve done a quick review myself and am quite impressed.

The story was interesting, puzzles clever, overall a fun time. I especially liked the life lesson at the end.

The escape room is good for 1 group but when it comes to running 2 groups of 5 as advertised is possible, the codes only work for 1 group to complete the puzzles. The second group couldn’t get past the codes.

As a playtester for “Silver Screen Sleuths,” I can confidently say this is one of the most engaging detective games I’ve encountered. We tested it with a group of 3, and it took us about 2 and a half hours to solve. The story is exceptionally catchy. The puzzles are challenging yet fun, providing a rewarding experience for those who love intricate detective work.

An absolute must-play for fans of detective games. My friends and I tackled it together with four of us playing. The story is captivating, and the puzzles are both challenging and entertaining. This game is ideal for groups who love to collaborate and piece together complex clues. If you’re looking for a thrilling group activity, “Silver Screen Sleuths” will not disappoint.

I highly recommend “Silver Screen Sleuths” for anyone who loves a good detective challenge. My girlfriend and I played it together, and it took us about 2 hours to complete. The story is incredibly catchy, drawing you in from the very beginning. The puzzles are difficult but extremely fun, making every moment engaging and rewarding. The artwork is perfect, adding to the immersive experience. It’s perfect for those who enjoy diving deep into detective mysteries and solving intricate puzzles. Whether you’re playing solo or with friends, “Silver Screen Sleuths” offers an immersive and thrilling experience that will keep you hooked until the very end.

The Gilded Carcanet is a great old-fashioned adventure game in the vein of Indiana Jones. Its fun mix of puzzles and distinctive art style are a joy and the fact that you can print it off and play anywhere is a big plus.

The open-ended story left me eager for more; thankfully the rest of the trilogy is available to buy now. If you love puzzles and adventure then you won’t be disappointed!

I’m addicted to all kind of Escape- Rooms/Games/Online. So I have played a lot now, mostly by myself. I have played the 3 games of the Gilded Carcanet and I’m very enthousiastic about this. Nice storyline, great printables and challanging and fun to play. Can really advice you to play these games

Yes, finally the third one. I love this game. I always play with my Grandpa; I call him my Barty when we play :). The challenges, some easy and some difficult, were incredibly satisfying to play, discover, and solve. Level 4, in particular, really makes you think. Excellent games, all three of them. Very jealous of those who will play them for the first time.

We played “The Gilded Carcanet III” we were 3 players and had a great time! The game is fun and full of interesting puzzles and mysteries. It was quite challenging, and it took us around 2 hours to finish. We did use some of the hints to help us along the way. This game is a great finish for the trilogy. And even if you haven’t played Parts 1 and 2, you can still enjoy it. It’s a fantastic adventure that keeps you engaged and entertained. We highly recommend it for anyone who loves solving puzzles and having fun!

We recently played “The Gilded Carcanet Part 3” and it was an absolute blast! This game was engaging and challenging, really putting our escape skills to the test. We’ve loved the entire trilogy, but this final part was the icing on the cake. We did need a few hints along the way, which were thoughtfully designed and helped us out just when we felt stuck. The story and the finale were fantastic. We can’t wait for the Escape Room Geeks designers to come out with a new game for enthusiasts like us!

It was very entertaining

Greetings from beautiful Uganda, the Pearl of Africa! 🇺🇬😊

We wanted to let you all know how much our students enjoyed solving the mystery of Medrano Circus. First, some background…

We are house parents at The Amazima School, a secondary boarding school in Jinja. We oversee a dorm of 18 Ugandan teenage boys, ranging in age from 16-20. All of these guys come from hard places and have experienced some level of trauma. Our role is to provide a safe, loving environment while they are at school and to cultivate partnership with their families and guardians to ensure a quality education as well as spiritual growth.

One of their favorite Saturday night activities is the Escape Room Geeks games. When they returned to the house from dinner last weekend to find it decorated and set up, they broke into big smiles and did, “Yay!! Escape room!” They were delighted!

This is our third Escape Room Geeks game night at our house. And it did not disappoint. We decorated the dorm with brightly colored balloons and played circus music. We played the the opening story from the app, then divided them into three teams of 6 and sent them into their rooms with the first challenge. Each team had an adult mentor with a phone and the apo, as the students themselves do not have phones at school.

At certain points when they completed a challenge, we rewarded the teams with circus themed treats such as peanuts and sodas. We even recruited two small children from a couple that lives on campus to act as our kidnap victims so when they solved the final challenge, they actually had to find the door with the correct address and open it. When they did, out came the two children, excitedly thanking them for rescuing them. Afterwards, when the teams completed the game, we gave them funnel cakes as a treat. They had never had them before and they really enjoyed them. They said this was the best one yet, but also for them the easiest as they are becoming pros at solving escape rooms. 🙂

Next term, we plan to do another. Unfortunately, we are unable to send many photos, due to a strict school policy of not taking and/or publishing photos of the students’ faces. We are attaching a few from various escape rooms that do not show their faces.

Thank you all for providing such excellent games. We have never been disappointed. And here at the school, we emphasize critical thinking skills and creative problem solving, so they are perfect vehicles for our students to exercise in a practical way the skills they are developing at the school.

Looking forward to the next escape room night!

My little miss was sad her sister was doing an escape room birthday party this past weekend, so I quickly downloaded the Wizards Workshop for her and I to do. Setup was so easy, I was ready to go in less than 15 minutes. I didn’t get too crazy with props, but she loved it anyway. And now big sis wants to do it again together!
