The Storyline

An ancient treasure has been said to be buried on a small island outside the coast of Turkey. Little is known about it and its existence has been heavily debated in the archeology community. Professor in archeology, Bartholomew Wilson, has always dismissed the idea as a myth. Until now.

Armed only with a mysterious letter and a cheap souvenir from his old friend Edward, Bartholomew and Oscar set out on an epic adventure. Even though they find a very helpful item along the way, adventuring is not easy and their path turns out to be full of challenges to overcome.

The Gilded Carcanet puts you in the shoes of Bartholomew as you try to piece together the answers to the many mysteries of the Aegean Sea. In each chapter, you will face a challenge to solve for our duo to continue their quest.

Your perfect at home date night

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

Karine

The BEST

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

Nora

Amazing!

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.

Alessa M

I think the game is worth everything! It is so fun and channeling!!!

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!!!!!!

Nathalia

Fun for ALL ages.

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.

I love it so much

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.

Escape rooms during cyber security event for children

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!

Artur

This is the most amazing find!

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.

Fun adventure

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

Christine TheHauntGirl

Problematic for groups

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.

Katie

From a playtester

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.

David

Highly Recommend!

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.

Phill

Perfect Detective Scenario

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.

Drew

Adventure awaits!

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!

The Escape Puzzler Matt

Great way of spending your time during cold and/or wet days

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

Anneke

I was waiting for Part 3

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.

Alex

I recommend it!

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!

Petar

We tested "The Gilded Carcanet Part 3"

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 fun

Circus Medrano Comes to Africa!

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!

Super fun and easy to set-up

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!

Linda

Loving the new game!

The boys and I loved this video game style of the game. And again, I needed two copies of the game because we needed two hammers :). Now they’re running around the house yelling, “We’re going to beat you, Prince of Shadows :).” The puzzles were very fun. Sometimes they solve things faster than I do; I guess it’s because they play a lot more video games than me, so they have their own logic for solving puzzles, or maybe they’ve grown smarter than me :), which makes me feel proud. Nice work. Hoping for many more games because we love our game nights :).

Liam Harper

Great memory!

We played the game with my girl and her two cousins, who are 11 and 12 years old. They loved that cutting, folding, and gluing were involved in solving the puzzles. We took our time playing the game because they said that everything needed to be precise and neatly made since everything is so beautiful. My daughter fell in love with Aria and now she wants to be like Aria when she grows up and bring light to people just like her.

Evelyn

Loved it!

Last game night, we played “Aria and the Secret of Light”, and wow, did it light up our evening! I’ve been on the hunt for something special to peel us away from screens and stumbled upon this printable escape room game. It was exactly what we needed.

My kiddo was totally engrossed, especially with the lighthouse puzzle. It’s not every day you see him so engaged, solving problems with a grin on his face. And when he finally outsmarted the Prince of Darkness, his cheer was so genuine it filled the room with warmth. For a moment, we weren’t just at home; we were heroes in Eldoria, bringing light back where it belonged.

It was heartwarming to see him so involved and happy, and honestly, I had a blast too. It’s amazing how a simple game turned into one of our most memorable nights.

Can’t wait to dive into our next adventure. If it’s anything like our time in Eldoria, we’re in for a treat!
