Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys attempting escape rooms, there are several gift options that can enhance his experience and provide him with new challenges to tackle. Here are a few ideas that he might appreciate:

1. Escape Room Board Game: Consider gifting him an escape room-themed board game, such as "Exit: The Game" or "Unlock! Escape Adventures." These games offer a similar experience to actual escape rooms but can be played at home with friends or family. They usually involve codes, puzzles, and riddles that players need to solve to escape a virtual room.

2. Escape Room Subscriptions: Many escape room companies now offer subscriptions where new escape room experiences are delivered to your doorstep on a regular basis. These subscription boxes typically include puzzles, clues, and challenges for your son to solve. It's a fantastic way for him to keep the escape room excitement alive even when he can't make it to a physical location!

3. Escape Room Gift Card: If your son enjoys visiting physical escape rooms, you can gift him a gift card to his favorite escape room or a general escape room gift card. This allows him to choose when and where to experience his next escape room adventure.

4. Virtual Escape Room Experience: With the current pandemic situation, virtual escape rooms have gained popularity. Your son can join online platforms that offer virtual escape room experiences, solving puzzles and riddles remotely with others. Consider gifting him a subscription to a virtual escape room platform, where he can enjoy a range of virtual escape rooms from the comfort of his own home.

5. Puzzle Books: Puzzle books offer a variety of brain-teasing challenges that can help your son improve his problem-solving skills. Look for books that contain a mix of puzzles, codes, and riddles, as these can simulate the mental workout that escape rooms provide. Some popular options include "The Maze of Games" by Mike Selinker and "The GCHQ Puzzle Book" by GCHQ.

6. Mystery/Thriller Novels: If your son enjoys the thrill and suspense of escape rooms, he might enjoy reading mystery or thriller novels. Choose books by authors like Dan Brown, Agatha Christie, or Gillian Flynn, which are known for their captivating suspense and clever plot twists.

Remember, the most meaningful gift will be one that aligns with your son's interests and preferences. Consider his specific preferences within the realm of escape rooms, whether he enjoys the puzzles, the teamwork, the thrill, or the overall experience. With any of these gift ideas, you'll surely bring joy and excitement to his love for attempting escape rooms.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
