What this template contains

  1. step 1 · Numeric code

    The library

    📚 The oak shelf has a 4-digit lock.

    🔖 A bookmark reads: 'First 1, then 7. The third is one more than the second. The last is the first plus the third.'

    🕰️ A revolutionary year.

  2. step 2 · Colour sequence

    The paint shop

    🎨 Four paint pots have been knocked over.

    📜 Refill them in the order the paper strip gives, from pot 1 to pot 4.
    ⚠️ Watch out for pot 4: it is a mix.

  3. step 3 · Touch pattern

    The exit

    🚪 The door has nine dots, 3 by 3.
    Trace the number of days in a week the way a calculator shows it: start at its top-left corner and never lift your finger. ☝️

Ideas to make it yours

  • Replace 1789 with the year your company was founded

Questions about this template

How hard are the puzzles?
Medium. Each room uses a different mechanic: a four-digit code built from clues, a colour order and a shape to trace. Adults usually solve it without help, and every step has a hint for groups that get stuck.
Do we need props or a real room?
No. Everything happens on the phone: players open the link, read the clue and enter the answer on the lock. For a real-room feel, print the QR code and hide it where the game should start.
Can I swap the puzzles for our own?
Yes. You can change every question, answer, colour, shape, hint and reveal, even after sharing the link. A common tweak is a date or colours that mean something to your team.
Is this template free?
Playing it and editing it in the builder are free for everyone. Publishing it with its paid options needs an Event Pass or Pro; remove them at Publish and it goes live on the free plan, for good.
Can I change the answers and the texts?
Yes. Every code, clue, hint and reward opens in the builder, and nothing is saved until you publish.
What do players need?
A phone or a computer with a browser. They open your link or scan your QR code, and never create an account.
How long does it take to play?
About 25 minutes, from the first lock to the reward.
