The Pumpkin Post

The Pumpkin Post has one last invitation to deliver - but Pip the postmaster's enchanted mailbag has clicked shut! Gather your team, solve eight illustrated puzzles and decode the secret password to save the Halloween lantern parade. A cosy, story-led escape-room-style game for curious children and family teams. Suggested ages 8-12, with a reader on hand. Designed for 1-6 players per team; print an extra play set for each additional team. Inside the 20-page A4 PDF: - Richly illustrated cover and clear host preparation guide - Read-aloud mission and team delivery passport - Eight puzzles: hidden letters, parcel logic, map directions, stamp maths, number telegram, animal words, number sequence and key deduction - Final password decoder - Two host hints for every station - Worked solutions and a read-aloud story ending - Night-shift hero certificate - Two invitations on one page - Bonus make-your-own secret message activity The core game uses pages 3-13 and needs only pencils and printed pages. No locks, envelopes, cutting or glue required. Invitations may be cut apart if you wish. Print single-sided on A4 at actual size. All puzzles work in colour or greyscale. Allow around 30-45 minutes as a planning guide; reading confidence, team size and hints change the pace. A lovely fit for a family Halloween evening, a small autumn party or a rainy-day puzzle session. The fixed-layout pages are ready to print and use.
