Want to host an escape room party at home? But cannot figure where to start from? Puzzled, much?
Here you go! We have prepared precisely 4 steps that you need to follow to get your party rolling. If you are a seasoned host, you already know what extra things you may need.
But in case this is your first time hosting a party, prepare a set of jokes for awkward moments. But more importantly, follow the below 4 steps for an awesome evening.
#1 Make a list of Escape Room Games
Make a list of the escape room games according to the age and experience of the guests invited. Look for easy ones if it is a birthday party for kids. For adults, you can choose any medium-difficulty themes.
You need 2 things – the escape room theme and the things required to set the escape room. So choose your game wisely.
Check here for a list of escape room themes that can be set at home.
#2 Draw a list of the guests attending
Prepare a guestlist and ask them to RSVP for your party. This way you will have an idea of the number of guests coming in and how to divide the team.
Set the team on their basis of skills, especially if you are playing with kids. In case of adults, leaders can be picked and they call for their team members.

#3 Set the Stage
If you are an expert escape master, you may come up with your own escape room! You would need a plan, puzzles, and props.
Look for things in your home and make a plan from it. Go online and look for smart puzzle ideas.
When you are done with the puzzles, set your home in the escape room theme you chose. For this, you may need to go out and shop for some props. Make a list, take a friend, and go escape room shopping!
Create space in your home for the teams to freely move and also move any extra furniture or you may never want to host a party again. XD
Take help! Do not even think of pulling the entire thing all by yourself. Plan your escape room but allot work for every other task you have.

#4 Cakes, Food, Party Favours, and etc
Plan the rest of the party. Cakes, if it is a birthday party. Order beforehand for drinks and food. Add a timer to track the game time. Plates, cups, disposable garbage bags, music, and cues for the game.
I am sure you have more to add to this list.
PS – Buy party decorations apart from the escape room ones.
Do not be scared to host an escape room party at home. If you live in a decorated home, remember to put all your favourite and important things inside the cupboard which won’t be used and make sure to inform the teams.
And if an escape room party at home sounds very straining, choose an escape room and host your party on their premises.
