Some fun riddles will make your escape room feel like an epic treasure hunt.
Here's how it all works:

Riddle Me This...

This thing all things devours;

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;

Gnaws iron bites steel;

Grinds hard stones to meal;

Slays king, ruins town,

And beats mountain down.

Do you know the answer?

Well, Bilbo Baggins did, and that's how he saved himself from becoming a delicious meal for Gollum — otherwise, we wouldn't have The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

That's the best part of riddles. They make things more exciting, more suspenseful, and more interesting. They're like a treasure hunt, leading you on until you find the answer and hopefully the prize.

Riddles have been used in escape rooms before, but they've never been the main focus. We think it's time to change that. Here's how riddles themes can spruce up your escape room game and make it more exciting.
