ESCAPE THE MUSEUM

CAN YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLES AND BREAK OUT?

Gareth Moore, Beatriz Castro 978-1-78312-554-8 9 July 2020 230 x 280 mm

64 pages, Hardback Juvenile Nonfiction / Games & Activities £16.99

An interactive puzzle experience inspired by the escape room phenomenon sweeping the world. There are estimated to be over 10,000 escape rooms globally.

Hugely popular with family groups, but often expensive, this is a fantastic way to recreate the escape room experience at home.

Most puzzle books tell you exactly what to do, but in Escape the Museum it’s up to the reader to use content from the book and separate die-cut pages, and work it out for themselves by experimenting, just like an escape room!

The escape room puzzles can be solved by one person or tackled as a group, encouraging children to work together.

Carefully designed for children of all abilities, with progressively more revealing hints included to help them.

Fully illustrated by Beatriz Castro to capture the mystery and excitement of each room of the museum.

You are trapped inside a museum. Do you have what it takes to escape? Use the contents of this pack to help you find your way out of a series of mysterious museum galleries: you’ll encounter terrifying dinosaurs, spooky Ancient Egyptians, vicious Vikings, amazing animals, fearsome knights and even explore space!

This pack lets you create your very own escape room experience at home. Create objects from the die-cut card sheets you’ll find in the wallet, then use them to solve a series of escape room challenges inside the book, which will get progressively more fiendish. Your job is to work out which items are needed to solve which puzzle, and gather information from multiple sources as you crack secret codes and tackle tricky problems to escape the museum.

Dr Gareth Moore is one of the world’s leading puzzle-setters, with more than 750,000 book sales to his name. He is the author of more than 75 international brain-training titles including the bestselling puzzle book The Ordnance Survey Puzzle Book, which has sold more than 120,000 copies in the UK.
