Save the Candy Digital Escape Room

A ghoul has locked every bit of Halloween candy in a vault, and the only way in is through eight doors. Each one hides a science puzzle: moon phases, dichotomous keys, logic, reading a stamp collection. Teams open all eight or the ghoul keeps the candy.

The Great Hall in Save the Candy, with eight locked doors and the candy vault

The Great Hall. Teams pick any door they like, and every one they open lights a candle on the vault.

1

Set the clock

You pick 30, 40, 50 or 60 minutes, or no clock at all. Team names show on screen.

2

Teams work the doors

Any order they want. Each door is a different kind of science thinking, so nobody carries the whole thing.

3

Open the vault

Eight candles lit and the candy is theirs. Hints cost two minutes, which they feel.
