Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandma who enjoys knockout escape rooms, why not create a personalized escape room experience just for her? This unique and thoughtful gift will allow her to continue her love for solving puzzles and challenges, all from the comfort of her own home.

First, choose a theme for the escape room that resonates with her interests. Is she a history buff? Consider creating a "Time Travel Escape Room," where she must solve historical puzzles to navigate through different eras. If she loves mysteries, design a "Whodunit Escape Room," with clues and hidden objects to unravel a thrilling mystery.

Next, source puzzles and riddles online or create your own using old family photos, inside jokes, or memories. Incorporate elements or items that showcase her favorite hobbies or activities, like knitting or gardening, as part of the challenges. This will make the experience more personal and special.

To set the stage, transform a room or a specific area of her house into the escape room. Decorate it according to the theme, using props, lighting, and sound effects to create an immersive atmosphere. Consider adding a countdown clock and even background music to heighten the excitement.

Once everything is ready, guide your grandma into the escape room and explain the rules and storyline. Give her a notebook or a journal to jot down clues and solutions as she progresses. If it's possible, be her "game master" providing hints if she gets stuck, while still allowing her the joy of solving the puzzles on her own.

To make it even more memorable, involve the whole family. Assign roles such as clue masters, who can drop hints when needed, or as additional characters, who can interact with her throughout the game. This will not only enhance the experience but also create a wonderful bonding opportunity for everyone involved.

After she successfully escapes the room, celebrate her achievement with a small party or a family gathering to commend her skills and celebrate her birthday. You can also present her with a physical token, like a puzzle box, that reminds her of this unique and memorable experience.

By creating a personalized escape room experience based on your grandma's love for them, you're giving her a truly meaningful and interactive gift that shows how much you appreciate her interests and want to keep her engaged in something she enjoys. It's a gift that will create lasting memories and bring joy to her special day.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
