The Great Zombie Snooze: What It Can Do for Players

2 min read
  • Printable games
  • Benefits
  • Ages 10 to 14

A funny printable zombie escape room party game. Win 12 cure cards, mix the Wake-Up Fizz and open the final lock before the zombies wake up. It is a digital download for ages 10 to 14: you print it at home or at school, and nothing is shipped.

What it can do for the people who play it

  • A themed adventure turns an afternoon or a party into something with a clear goal and a finish line.
  • A locked puzzle that will not open teaches checking your work and trying again, in a setting where a mistake is part of the game.
  • Counting, adding and logic puzzles are practised inside a story, which keeps children going longer than a worksheet would.
  • Cut-out props and cards give hands something to do as well as heads, which suits many children who find it hard to sit still.

None of this needs special training: the puzzles do the work. The aim is practice and enjoyment, and we make no promise about test scores.

How to use it

Print the pages, cut out the props and read the host script once. Split the guests into teams, hand out the first clue and let them go.
