Questions about this template

Is this Christmas escape room right for an elementary class?
Yes. The four riddles use colours, arrows, a small sum (3 × 4 + 12) and one word, so children from about seven solve them, alone or in teams. Each door has a hint, and the whole game takes about 15 minutes on the class screen or on tablets.
Can we play it at home as a family on Christmas Eve?
Yes. Send the link to the family chat or show the QR code, and everyone plays on their own phone. Put the real present behind the last door: the reveal can be a message, a photo or the hiding place of the gift.
Do players need an account or an app?
No. Players open a link or scan a QR code in the phone's browser, with no account and nothing to install. Players never pay. See current plans and features on the pricing page.
