Eight envelopes contain an egg-pattern logic grid, a colour-mix code with pattern-name labels for greyscale, a garden grid path, a rhyming riddle chain, a six-fragment egg reassembly, picture-symbol substitution with three strip sums, an illustrated counting scene and a four-digit lock meta finale that uses every earlier token. The lock is a host-checked paper code.
This Easter escape room is a tabletop puzzle mission with envelopes, a repair log and a studio-opening reveal. All play stays on the printed sheets. It is a separate adventure from Easter Egg Hunt Clues: no household hiding route or clue-card search. The secular spring story uses an original beetle courier and snail artist.
For 2 to 10 children ages 6 to 12 with a grown-up host. Ages 6 to 8 need reading and deduction help. Use one team for 2 to 5; split 6 to 10 evenly into two teams of 3 to 5, each with duplicate envelopes and sheets. Rotate five jobs after each wave, divide between two open envelopes, then solve the last two together. Hints are free and teams share the ending.
Allow an estimated 45 to 60 minutes for briefing, puzzles, host checks and celebration, plus 15 to 20 minutes to prepare. Confident older children may finish sooner; younger groups may take longer. Timing has not been measured in family sessions. The host guide includes a wave schedule and a rescue plan for the last fifteen minutes.
Each PDF has 31 pages: cover, two host guides, envelope labels and five job cards on one sheet, illustrated story and repair log, eight Set A puzzles, six Set A egg fragments on one sheet, illustrated studio reveal, two certificates on one sheet, three Set A graded-help pages, eight Set B replay puzzles, one replay fragment sheet and three replay help pages. Four PDFs: Letter and A4, each in colour and greyscale.
Print eleven sheets per team for one set, including the log, eight puzzles, fragment sheet and labels/jobs. Add one reveal sheet per party and one certificate sheet per two children, rounded up. Standard totals: 2 players use 13 sheets; 5 players use 15; 10 players in two teams use 28. Host references can stay on screen. Printing a complete PDF once uses 31 sheets.
Supply eight envelopes per team, pencils, erasers, scrap paper, a blank cover sheet, tape and grown-up scissors. The host cuts six egg fragments and the labels/jobs. A no-cut fragment-ID option is included. No real paint, real eggs, treats, phone, special ink or actual locks are needed. A small reward is optional; for treats, ask a grown-up.
Replay Set B changes every repair token and the final lock code: new egg assignments, paint-pot labels and recipe order, garden route, rhyme route, fragment layout and digits, substitution key and stocktake scene. It reuses the story, eight puzzle types, labels, log, reveal and certificates. Every puzzle in both sets includes a nudge, a worked step and an answer with working.
