About PaperBox

Creator of PaperBox Escape Rooms

My Story:

After working in education for years and suffering burnout after burnout, I started putting my leftover embers into designing puzzles and mysteries. I grabbed some paper and a pencil, and after a lot of hard work, PaperBox was born!

Puzzles for Everyone, Anywhere

Welcome to PaperBox Escape Rooms. We're a small, independent business based in the UK, and we care deeply about every kit we put out. Every PaperBox escape room is lovingly hand-written, designed, and created from scratch.

We create printable escape room kits that you can download, print, and play at home, in the classroom, or at your next party. No special equipment, no booking fees, no waiting. Just great puzzles and a whole lot of fun for all!

Why Printable Escape Rooms?

We believe the best experiences don't need a venue or any kerfuffle – time is money and there is precious little of it these days. So, whether you're a parent looking for an epic birthday party game, a teacher looking for an engaging classroom activity, or a couple wanting to ramp up the romance with a screen-free immersive evening together – a printable escape room gives you everything you need in one quick download.

PaperBox escape rooms put you in control. Print as many copies as you like, play at your own pace, and reuse the kit for different groups. It's escape room fun without the escape room price tag.

How It Works

  1. Choose your kit — browse our range of themed escape rooms and murder mystery games.
  2. Download instantly — after purchase, you'll receive a PDF download link straight away.
  3. Print & play — print at home or at a local print shop, set up in minutes, and let the puzzling begin.

Who Are Our Kits For?

  • Families — a brilliant activity for kids aged 7+ and adults alike.
  • Classrooms — teachers love our kits for team-building, problem-solving, and end-of-term fun.
  • Parties — birthday parties, hen dos, team events, our kits make any gathering memorable.
  • Escape room fans — love escape rooms but want something you can do on your own schedule? This is for you.

What Makes Us Different

Every PaperBox kit is designed to be genuinely challenging and satisfying to solve, not just a collection of random puzzles. We put real thought into the story, the flow, and the aha moments that make escape rooms so addictive. Our kits are tested with real players before they go on sale, so you know they work.

If you ever have a question or need help, we're always happy to hear from you, just head to our contact page.

Happy puzzling! Love Alice x 🧩
