My 15-year-old came out of his room every night at 7 to open the next door. That alone was worth it.

My 15-year-old came out of his room every night at 7 to open the next door. That alone was worth it.
The chocolate calendar is over in ten seconds
One piece a day, eaten on the way out the door. By the second week nobody even remembers to open it.
The Escape Room Advent Calendar is the opposite. Behind every door is a riddle, and you only find out which door comes next by solving it. It takes a few minutes to half an hour, at the table, together. Most families end up doing it every night after dinner.
How it works with the Escape Room Advent Calendar
Read, open, solve. One evening at a time.
Step 1.
Read the help book first, then the story book. It tells you what happened and why the clock is ticking toward Christmas.
Step 2.
Open door number one. Inside are the riddle cards and strange objects you need for today's riddle.
Step 3.
Solve it with the decoder table. The answer tells you which door to open tomorrow. Stuck? The help book gives a small hint, a bigger hint, then the solution.
Result.
24 riddles solved, one mystery cracked, and a December where everyone came to the table for the next door.

What makes an escape room advent calendar good
It comes down to three things.
A story worth following. The riddles belong to one mystery, so every solved day moves the story forward instead of starting over.
The right kind of hard. Some days take two minutes, some take half an hour. The help book has hints in three levels, so nobody gets stuck for good.
Order. Only door one is numbered. Every answer tells you which door comes next, so no one can skip ahead.
Choose your story
The calendar comes in different stories, each with its own setting and its own 24 riddles: a Christmas workshop in a snowstorm, a Hollywood star who has vanished from the film studio, and a race through space with a sleigh.
Pick the one that fits your family, or order two different stories and compare who solves faster.

Bought it as an alternative to the candy calendar for my two teens. Best December we have had in years. We did it every night after dinner.

My wife and I did the workshop story together with a glass of wine every evening. Some riddles took us 5 minutes, one took almost an hour. Loved it.

The hint book is genius. First a nudge, then a bigger hint, then the answer. Nobody got frustrated and nobody gave up.

Only door one is numbered and you have to solve the riddle to find out which door is next. My kids could not believe it. No cheating possible.

We are escape room people and this scratched the itch all December. Clever puzzles, a fun story and a real feeling of satisfaction every night.

Got the Hollywood one for my 11-year-old. He made us all sit down and read the story out loud before he would open the door. So cute.

My kids are 12 and 16 and they actually asked to put their phones away for this. I did not think that was possible.

Bought three of these, one for us and one for each of our grown kids. We video call once a week and solve the days together. Great way to stay close.

Played it as a couple. 10 to 30 minutes a night, perfect after a long day. Much better than scrolling.

Clever riddles, but too hard for my 8-year-old on his own, so he needed me most days. Better for 10 and up like it says.
