After going to a professionally run escape room for a friends birthday, I decided I would make my own to have my guests try to do. I really didn’t have a lot of ideas though when it came to actual clues and puzzles that I could make on my own. I will be using several of your brilliant ideas for my Sherlock Holmes themed escape room. Thank you for the inspiration!

      I made a mini escape room for my girlfriend, and I did use some of your puzzles:
      - The word maze
      - The code with things like [] [. V
      - The text over 2 pages (and I modified it a bit: It was on 1 page, but one part of the letters was in ballpoint, and the other half became visible when using a blacklight. This was the only puzzle with a hint "When you can't see in darkness, turn on some light")
      She took 5-10 minutes (like I said, mini) and the reward was a printout of our very first messages, that I then laminated.
      She loved the puzzles and reward. I definitely will reuse this type of puzzles if I ever make a larger room for friends or something!
