Common Parent Questions

Before getting started, most parents have a few questions. Here are the answers to the ones we hear most often.

❓ “Is this hard to set up? I’m already busy.”

No — we designed it for real parents.

Each game includes clear, step-by-step instructions. Most setups take 10–20 minutes, and many parents reuse the same setup for multiple games.

Once it’s ready, kids run the show.

❓ “How much adult involvement is required?”

Very little.

Most kids can play independently or in a group. Parents usually help with setup, then step back and cheer them on.

❓ “How long does a game take?”

Most adventure games last 30–90 minutes, depending on the game and the kids playing. Our learning-based puzzle games are designed to be shorter, typically lasting 15–30 minutes.

❓ “How difficult are the puzzles?”

Each game is designed with a clear difficulty level, from beginner-friendly to more challenging. We include hints and solutions so you can guide kids if needed.

❓ “What ages is this really for?”

We offer two main experiences:

• Smart Puzzle Escape Game Kit → Ages 5–8

• Adventure Escape Game Kit → Ages 8–13

Each product page clearly explains which kit is best for your child’s age and experience level.

❓ “How many times can we use it?”

Many times.

The physical components are reusable, and your kit includes access to a growing library of printable games. You can reset the locks and play again with a new challenge whenever you want.

❓ “What if my child gets stuck?”

That’s part of the learning — but we also include:

• Answer Keys

• Parent guidance

• Clear solutions

You can step in as much or as little as you want.
