Escape Room in an Envelope!

What about these for fab Christmas gifts?

An at-home escape room that you can play around your own table. You are thrown into a world of mystery, blackmail and deception. Solve the puzzles before it’s too late! The games includes individual puzzles, and can include a personalised ending.

All the pieces are designed to be as immersive as possible, really good fun and likely to cause less arguments than a Christmas game of Monopoly!

We’ve got two aimed at children as well, including a Christmas themed Elf puzzle.
