Holiday Hijinks #8: The Easter Escapade (2024)

Overview

You’re excited about your volunteer opportunity at the community center because the neighborhood-wide egg hunt draws near. But on the day of the event, your co-workers are a no-show and none of the eggs have been hidden! It's a race against the clock as you try to find the perfect hiding spot for each egg, all while you unravel the mystery of your colleagues’ disappearance.

The Easter Escapade, title #8 in the Holiday Hijinks line, is an escape room-style game in just 18 cards! As a group, you will solve a series of puzzles to unravel a mystery.

Puzzles may test your perception, wordplay, and lateral thinking. English language fluency is required.

When you have solved a puzzle on the cards, you will enter the answer into the companion website (compatible with all smartphones and computers) and it will check whether you are correct. If you are, the website will tell you which card or cards to take next. The website also contains a graduated hint system, so if you get stuck you can get just a small hint about the current puzzle to get moving again without giving too much away.

The website also allows you to interact with objects on cards, in the vein of a classic point-and-click adventure. This will help you gein more clues and solve puzzles.

This system is non-destructible: some groups may choose to write on cards, but this is not required. A group cannot re-play the game but can pass it on to another group for their use.

This entry in the series takes about an hour to solve, and is rated 2 out of 3 in difficulty.
