Imagine a puzzle hunt with escape room style puzzles; this is what printable escape birthday is all about. This can be a family birthday celebration, or a small group of friends playing. You can also host a virtual birthday and use this game as the core activity.
Escape Room style puzzles
In general, escape games consist of a series of puzzles tied together by a story. The players have to search for clues, use logic and observations skills in order to progress through the game. The first step in tackling an escape room style puzzle is to figure out what the puzzle is all about. The solution to the puzzle often leads to a new challenge.
Pirate’s Quest
The game starts with the players finding a message in the bottle from a renowned pirate. They then set on to find his treasure.
Pirate’s Quest features a variety of escape room style puzzles. The answer to each puzzle is a word, making it very easy for the players to know they’ve got the correct answer and can move on to the next challenge.

Pirate’s Quest has a light and fun story, which gives context for the puzzles. John Harding, a notorious pirate, was left on a deserted island by his treaturious crew. They believed he had hidden the treasure, instead of sharing it with the crew. Indeed, the crew was correct. John Harding was eventually rescued, and he let the world know that only those who truly deserve the treasure will find it.
If kids are 12 years old or younger, they might ask for some hints as they play. All the hints and answers are provided together with the game. Kids who are 13 or 14 years old or kids with some experience playing escape room games might win the game fully on their own.
