Every escape room is a little bit different. Some consist of all paper puzzles that you can work on with a group while sitting at a table. Others take you on an adventure throughout your home. Some of the best include hands-on puzzles that players touch and solve. Whatever kind of escape room you choose to create, there are ways to make your game engaging and perfect for all of your players. If you have young players or children who will be present, that you know will not be able to solve the puzzles, give them a copy of this Free Escape Room Coloring Page to involve them in all of the fun!

There are lots of ways you can use the coloring page. An option is to keep it simple and just have it available for young children to work on and color while other players complete the game. Children can choose to color for awhile and then jump in and help with a puzzle that they are able to be involved with, and then go back to coloring.

Free Escape Room Coloring Printable

Kids love escape rooms, but sometimes the games can be too challenging for younger children. I’ve had readers reach out about finding ideas of what to do with young children while older players work through the game. Some options are games that include pieces that are simple and include puzzles, such as counting, that young players can be involved in. You can even take a puzzle or two from a preschool escape room game and integrate it into your escape room.

However, if you choose to use complex puzzles, but still want to involve younger kids, I created a free escape room coloring page that can be printed and used. It can then be given to children while others complete the game. Keep reading for ideas on how to use the page.

Print as many copies of the page as you need. Ideally one for each child. It page includes various escape room themed images, like keys, treasure boxes and locks. It’s a simple way to keep young children included and engaged despite not being able to do the puzzles with the group. Set up a small table or space in the room for them to sit and work on their coloring page.

If you are creating your own escape room, check out this collection of 100 escape room puzzles. If you really want to incorporate the coloring page into your game, include a puzzle in your game for each of the images on the page. For example, use a treasure box, key, lock, puzzles and treasure chest. When each clue is being solved, encourage your younger players color the image as others solve the puzzle.

Puzzle Art Activity for Kids

If you’ve been wanting to create an escape room, but worried that not all of your kids could enjoy it and be involved, this printable is the perfect option. You could even work in a sentence or two on a clue within your game that makes it that the coloring page must be completed before the game can be won. For example,

Before the game can be won, and for kids of each age,

Every part must be colored on the coloring page.

The coloring page can also be a fun activity for kids to do after completing an escape room. Give kids their completion certificates and then a coloring page to have a calming activity after playing the game. Alternatively, you can set out the coloring pages for kids to do before the game starts. If children are arriving at different times, a coloring page, themed for the activity is a great option.
