Five Star Gift Ideas

One great gift idea for your son who loves coding escape room games is an Arduino Starter Kit. This kit is perfect for beginners who are interested in learning about electronics and programming. It includes various components such as buttons, LEDs, sensors, and a microcontroller board that allows your son to create his own interactive projects.

With the Arduino Starter Kit, your son can build and program his own mini escape room game. He can connect buttons and sensors to trigger different puzzles and challenges, design and program LED lights to create the right atmosphere, and even incorporate sound and music to enhance the gaming experience. The possibilities are endless with this kit!

To make the gift even more special, you can consider adding a book on game development or coding specifically for escape room games. There are plenty of resources available online, as well as printed books, that provide step-by-step tutorials and inspiration to design and build his own escape room adventures.

Another thoughtful gift could be a subscription to an online coding platform or a coding course that focuses on game development. By joining these platforms, your son can further improve his coding skills and learn from professionals in the industry. These platforms often provide a wide range of tutorials and challenges specifically tailored for game development, which will help him take his coding skills to the next level.

If your budget allows, you can also consider surprising him with a visit to a real-life escape room experience or even organizing a DIY escape room challenge at home with his friends and family. This would provide an exciting and immersive experience for him, putting his coding skills to the test in a real-life game scenario.

Remember, the key to finding the perfect gift for your son is to understand his passion for coding escape room games and nurture that interest. By providing him with tools, resources, and experiences that align with his interests, you are not only giving him a meaningful gift but also encouraging his learning and creativity in a field he loves.

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.”
