Perfect for a birthday party or a sleepover: the group works together, cracks the puzzles and tries to escape. Challenging enough for ages 12 to 16, without anyone being stuck all night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe story: Midnight Lockdown\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is 11 pm and the party has just got going. Then NOVA, the smart home assistant, goes haywire: the doors lock, the wifi drops and the pizza is stuck in the smart oven. NOVA leaves behind a game with 8 firewalls. Crack them all before midnight and you can enter the reboot code. Can you do it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are 8 puzzles and a final puzzle. Each puzzle gives a 4-digit code, and the check card shows you whether it is right: a correct code spells a real word. Got both words of a round? Then you may open the next envelope. The host sets a 60-minute timer; if you need longer, just keep playing. You read a lock screen, do maths with emoji, cut out a secret key, fold a page and hold it up to the light, turn a cipher wheel, study camera footage and decode a blinking light. Each round has two puzzles at once, so the group can split up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 puzzles and a final puzzle the group solves together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA guide for the parent or host up front: print, fill the envelopes, start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvelope labels, the story to read out loud and a check card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHints in 3 steps for every puzzle, so nobody gives up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA complete answer key, an ending and a certificate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17 pages, in A4 and US Letter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor teens aged 12 to 16: at a birthday, a sleepover, a game night with friends or a rainy afternoon with cousins.

The host guide is at the front of the PDF. If the host wants to play along, they fill the envelopes without reading the puzzles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a bigger group play?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe game is made for 3 to 8 players.

With more than 8 players, you can print a second set for your own party and play in two competing teams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo we need to cut anything?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA little. The host cuts out 5 envelope labels beforehand, and during the game the players cut out two parts themselves.
