** Kids Detective Escape Room: The Case of the Missing Golden Whisk (Printable, Ages 7-11)

← All Escape Rooms

About this kit

** The Golden Whisk trophy has vanished from the Maple Grove Bake Fair, and the prize is handed out at 3 o'clock! Your young detectives follow the clues from the prize table to the oven, the icing station, the supply cupboard and the Lost and Found to discover where the whisk is hiding. They crack a shift-code note, decode a number-code recipe card, solve a logic grid, open two paper locks and spot a hidden word. The story is gentle and friendly: nobody is in trouble, and every lock is on paper. Print it, read the Case File aloud, and start the 60-minute timer.
