What are ‘Escape Games’?

Escape Rooms are a current trend throughout the world and Escape Games are very similar.

Escape Rooms: Players are ‘locked’ in a themed room and have to escape before time elapses, usually an hour.  To escape, the players need to decipher a series of clues to open locks to receive more clues before finally exiting the room.

Escape Games: Players will face a themed game and will need complete the objective before time runs out, usually an hour.  The players will need to solve a series of puzzle and riddles to complete the objective.  Boxes are often used to contain additional clues.  Players will need to open these to be successful.

Unlock the Bible Games: We offer Escape Games.  Our game ‘themes’ are based on Bible passages.  Each game has a series of puzzles to analyze.  These will allow the players to unlock the boxes and eventually complete the game’s objective.

I was looking for a low-budget but fun escape room type game with my youth group (aged 7th-11th graders, about 10 students) when I ran across this site. I purchased the Escaping Pharaoh and got to work! It did take quite a bit of printing and prep work, but the instructions were clear and easy enough to follow. I made it a little more fun by adding some boxes of my own and adding a few props as well. The kids really enjoyed the variety and being able to work the puzzles both on the computer and on the printouts. I thought it might be too hard for my group, but they got through everything in just over the time expected with a little hint here and there. I love the fact this is bible based so it was a perfect youth group activity, and was fun even for those who are not so familiar with the bible. Thank you to the creators for these fun youth group games! -Kristina

I love this so much! It was fun to watch my family figure it out! It did take a little time to put together but was worth it! I would buy again. – Karmen

 I have an 8-year old who LOVES escape games and a 4-year-old who loves to follow her around and join in.  We had a great time.  It was challenging but doable for her.  We were able to see to set up a blank chart before we started, so she could do a bit of a scavenger hunt through the bible to find the preliminary information to move on to the escape room.  It was perfect. – Tawnia

Extremely in-depth! So excited to use this! – Kelsie

Great activity to use with a youth group! – Adele

This game is great!  My students (ages 11-14) will love it.  Last September, they actually begged me to do Armor of God again, which we had done the previous May. – Carrie

The escape room went off even better than we hoped. Thank you for your part in making that happen. – Michelle
