Can you imagine creating your own escape room? I am not necessarily talking about creating an escape room for business purposes, more like turning your home into an amazing experience that your loved ones will remember forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, you are in the right place, because I can share with you some tips on how to make a DIY escape room in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, let\u2019s make it clear, it\u2019s not going to be as easy as it seems, just scatter a puzzle here and a puzzle there, and you are done. No, no, my friend, it takes much more than that, it\u2019s more like taking your creativity to the next level while doing it with a whole lot of love. I\u2019m not gonna lie, it requires a lot of time and energy, but trust me, it\u2019s worth every second of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first escape game was a real blast. It took me almost a month of thinking, searching, creating, buying some stuff, and setting all of it up in my living room, but when it came down to the actual playing, I felt like the Superman of the Game Masters. Actually, it was a surprise party for my escape room crew, and btw, I\u2019ve played many escape games with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interested in hearing all the details about this room? Buckle up, let\u2019s take a ride through the world of Game Mastery!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Your Own Escape Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let me set the backdrop. That year I was my girlfriend\u2019s Secret Santa (she is a part of the escape room crew) and I already had two tickets to Milan as a present for her, but wanted to find a special way to give her the present. That\u2019s when I came up with the idea of an escape game, where the ultimate goal won\u2019t be necessarily escaping the room, but finding the hidden mysterious treasure \u2013 the tickets to Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I knew that my storyline had to be connected to Italy, Milan. That\u2019s the first thing you need to do when creating an escape room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s start with the first step!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Create a good storyline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In my case, the storyline was finding the hidden treasure in the mysterious castle of Milan, but you can come up with a bunch of different themes<\/a>. For example, if your gift is a Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle Game board game, your theme can be the storyline of the game. If you bought a new pair of Jordans for your kid, the theme can be the Space Jam movie and so on\u2026 Just think of something that your kids, family, or friends are going to love, and make a great short story out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you can check the storyline of Houdini\u2019s secret room<\/a> (which, by the way, is a ready-to-play escape room kit<\/a> that you can play right away), or download the whole game preview.<\/p>\n\n\n

I guess you\u2019re thinking \u201cwell I am not a novelist, how could I make this kind of story?\u201d Don\u2019t worry my friend, I am sure you can do it, just unleash your hidden creativity and follow these few steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
