More than I realized! And yet still not enough.
If the idea of a baking-themed puzzly adventure tempts your sleuthing sensibilities, feast your mind on these 6 baking games:
ALL AGES:
BAKE YOUR ESCAPE (a virtual SoMysterio.us game that you join from your own kitchen) $25 per team, debuts Sunday, February 16
SUGAR RUSH from Exit Games (in-person escape room in NYC) $37 per person
UNDERCOOKED from Omescape (in-person escape room in Sunnyvale, CA) $60 per person
DESIGNED FOR KIDS:
THE GREAT BAKE OFF: BROWNIE EDITION (downloadable PDF)$14.99, download and print
CHOCO COOKIES BAKE OFF (downloadable PDF)
HONORABLE MENTION:
THE TRY GUYS: ESCAPE THE KITCHEN (YouTube series)
Watch unsuspecting non-bakers solve puzzles and complete a sophisticated bake.
Deduction: baking, cooking and gaming are a well-matched combo, offering fun on several levels for all kinds of occasions - from birthday parties to team building and classroom activities.
There are many more downloadable games that are baking/sweets themed, BUT do not appear to involve any actual baking - including this board game style escape.
THIS LIST IS INCOMPLETE. Which games have you played? What did you think?
The concept of baking escape rooms is truly fascinating, combining creativity, problem-solving, and culinary fun. These themed experiences not only engage participants with puzzles but also offer a hands-on activity that makes them stand out from traditional escape rooms. It’s interesting to see how many of these unique venues are emerging worldwide, especially as people look for more interactive and immersive entertainment. Just like a konjac jelly snack provides a surprising twist in texture and flavor, baking escape rooms add an unexpected but delightful element to leisure activities. They clearly highlight how innovation continues to reshape entertainment trends.
