Are you a kid? Do you love puzzles? We've got you covered :-)

- Escape Room - Organizing a location/moment where children of different ages can play escape room games together, and maybe their parents as well.
- Scavenger Hunt - A scavenger hunt for children of different ages and their parents. 

Go explore the villages, meet interesting people and fun projects, and make new friends! If you love to see new things, solve puzzles, and work together you should not miss this event.


Dependencies

  • TODO: Other teams needed!
- Scavenger Hunt - We will visit multiple villages, I've contacted the following:
    - Back to the 80s Party (via Signal)
    - ChaosFurs (via TechWolf12's email)
    - DIVD:Academy (via Astrid's email)
    - Entropolis (via their general email)
    - Food Hacking Base (via their general email)
    - Geraffel (via Daniel's email)
    - Milliways (via email of Hanemile)
    - NixOS (via Matrix channel)
    - WOC (via their general email)

Materials required

  • TODO: List all materials that you need for this project.
- Escape Room - Escape room games for children of different ages, in multiple languages and/or language independent.

Best Escape Room Board Games are made by Space Cowboys/Asmodee in their series 'Unlock!'. They have good stories and puzzles, they play very smoothly, and the games are completely reusable (nothing gets intentionally damaged during play).


Unlock! for 6-10 year olds

Unlock! For 10+ kids and adults

The Unlock! games are produced in different languages. The older the game, the more translations have been made (it seems)

Example kids game: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/373835/unlock-kids-stories-from-the-past/versions

Example 10+ game: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/213460/unlock-escape-adventures/versions


Buying Unlock! games

Prices for a new Unlock! game are ~15-30 euro's on Amazon and bol.com

Prices for a second hand Unlock! game are ~12.50-15 euro's on Marktplaats. Language would be an issue, most of them will be in Dutch or English. Quality might also be an issue.

What would we do with the bought games at the end of the event? Give them away to those who are interested?


Free Unlock! games

Maybe some WHY2025 visitors would be happy to bring their Unlock! games (and other escape room games?) to WHY.

But how would we contact them before the event?
