Welcome to the Haunted Mansion Escape Room
... Players beware! Skulls, ghouls and puzzles are ready to scare. I’ll tell you this once, there is no escape... You’re stuck here forever, if one moment too late...
🧛👻WHAT'S THE STORY?
You’ve stumbled into the haunted mansion in this un-BOO-lievably fun escape room. Can you crack the curses, decipher the pumpkin puzzles, gather the ghouls, and find your way out of the labyrinthine mansion in the nick of time?
🔮 🦇 💀 HOW TO PLAY THE HAUNTED MANSION ESCAPE ROOM
This Haunted Mansion at-home escape room just takes a little prep. There’s a little cutting here, a little cutting there, and a lot of fun to be had. Simply print out the PDF document on some creeeepy paper and follow the simple instructions to set it up. There are also some handy ‘hints’ included in case players get stuck. The Haunted Mansion escape room is quite hands-on, so players should have fun finding items and piecing things together - great for building those gross motor skills!
🕸️🕷️🕰️ ⏳ Play: 60 minutes +
🔏 Age: 11+ Younger players may also find this fun with adult guidance.
🔍 Players: 2 - 6 is recommended. You could also use two copies of the game for bigger groups and let players battle it out! (This game will need designated spaces as items need to be hidden.)
*This is an escape room-style printable game - if you love real-life escape rooms, you're sure to adore getting to play this in your own space, in your own time! Escape rooms are always a little tricky, and hopefully, this can activate your logic and critical thinking skills. Enjoy the challenge!
*Disclaimer - The time limit is a guide only, and escape rooms may not always be completed in this time limit. All clues are meant to test mental agility and allow players to think out of the box. The answers are not designed to be obvious at first glance.
✂️ SET-UP The game is designed to need minimal set-up. You need nothing more than paper, the provided PDF documents, a colour printer, scissors, a butterfly pin (or provide some blu-tac) and a bedsheet/tablecloth/large piece of fabric. You can easily set up the experience in any space: at school, at home, or even at a team building party! Players will move from corner to corner on the hunt for clues, feeling like they've jumped right into the spooky depths of a real haunted mansion. Organisers can add extra ghoulish decorations to make the game feel even more immersive!
📄 INCLUDED DOCUMENTS 1. A PDF file with the instructions and game materials.

PaperBox FAQs
What is a printable escape room?
A printable escape room is a game you download as a PDF and play using printed clues, puzzles, and challenges. Players work together to solve riddles, crack codes, and uncover the final solution — just like in a real escape room, but at home or school. All you need is a printer, household items like scissors and tape, and a sense of adventure.
How does it work after I purchase?
Once you purchase a printable escape room from PaperBox, you'll receive the downloadable PDF immediately. From there you can print using your home printer or select your preferred printing service.
How long does an escape room take?
Here at PaperBox, we dislike the dreaded time limit. Unlike real-life escape rooms, printable escape rooms can be completed in your own time, at your own pace! If you want to add a time limit or competition element, you can!
How many can play?
Games work with a range of group sizes
- Solo player? - Drop the device and start flexing those little grey cells.
- A couple? What could make a better date than working together (or declaring yourselves sworn enemies) to solve the puzzles and escape the game in the nick of time.
- Small group? Whether you’re 11 or 77, playing a printable escape room in your own comfy home is like playing Monopoly - super fun until someone tries to cheat.
- Larger group? Split into teams! Challenge yourselves and set up a prize for the quickest team to solve the puzzles and escape with their sanity intact.
How do you print a print-and-play escape room?
Printable Escape Rooms are designed for quick and easy printing at home.
1. Download Your Escape Room File
- Open the PDF file you received after purchase.
- Save it somewhere easy to access (Desktop, Downloads, or a dedicated 'Escape Rooms' folder).
2. Choose Your Paper
Most escape rooms print perfectly on:
- A4 or Letter size
- Standard printer paper (80–100gsm)
3. Check Your Printer Settings
Before printing, set:
- Scale: 100% (not 'fit to page' unless the file requests it)
- Colour mode: Colour
- Double-sided printing: OFF
- Print quality: Standard or High for best clarity
- Most escape rooms look best on normal quality, so no need to use ink-heavy settings.
4. Print Only What You Need
Escape rooms include:
- instruction pages
- puzzle sheets
- answer sheets
- hint pages
- decorative extras
You can print:
- everything, or
- just the puzzle components, saving ink and paper
- This is especially useful if you want to reuse the activity.
Do I have to print in colour?
Yes. This is our only true rule. Many clues are based around colour, so printing in black and white might mean you never escape! Uh oh.
What age range are printable escape rooms for?
PaperBox escape rooms are differentiated in skill level and are designed for all ages from 7+
You'll find our escape rooms arranged to suit ages 7-11, 11+, and adults. They can also be filtered as easy, medium, and hard.
Can I use props and locks to enhance the experience?
Absolutely! Adding extra layers of complexity always adds that extra special touch. You can add extra theming, such as props and displays to immerse players in the game.
Most of the games are designed to be fully self-contained and playable immediately, but if you would like to DIY numerical codes or word codes into locks and cryptexes that you have available, go for it!
If I set up the game, can I still play?
Yes! The host can still play along with the game after setting up. Each escape room is designed so that the puzzle answers are unclear until completion. (As long as you don’t sneak a look at the answer pages.) So have fun!
How do printable escape rooms support learning?
Printable escape rooms support curriculum learning by turning academic content into engaging, puzzle-based challenges that reinforce key concepts and promote higher-order thinking. They're interactive, memorable, and aligned with classroom goals.
Printable escape rooms and themed games encourage collaboration, communication, and persistence while making lessons more motivating through gamification. Because they are easy to differentiate and require little prep, teachers can use them to review or assess understanding across subjects, or simply as a golden time reward.
Refunds aren’t available on digital items, what if I don’t enjoy the game?
