Tips:

• Download from a desktop computer and save the download to your desktop so it's easy to find – files can sometimes have trouble saving if you're on mobile. 
• Rename the file to your preferred title.

How to Print

Print at Home: Set up your printer with your preferred paper (ensure you’re set to print full colour), hit print, and you’re all set! If you have any trouble with size limits, try printing one page at a time.

Tip: Do a test print and read the instructions first. You don't have to print the instructions or solutions if you're setting up yourself. Print one page first to check your settings.

Print With a Professional Printing Service:  Most services will ask you to upload your document online. Make sure to choose one that has an upload limit of at least 200mb. None of our PDF files are larger than this. Do not compress or reduce files as this will corrupt the images and may make the puzzles un-readable.

Cutting and Preparing Your PaperBox Escape Room

You can play Paperbox Escape Rooms without spoilers! – avoid reading information on the pages when setting up.

You can also choose to play with a designated Game Master – they print and arrange the clues around a room and give you the hints when requested!

Due to the nature of escape rooms, answers are not always clear upon the first glance – it's all part of the puzzle! Most clues are non-linear and can be solved in any order, start with anything you have the tools to solve and keep on going!

If you have a question about anything, please use the contact form and you'll receive a reply as soon as possible.
