How many baking escape rooms are there?

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:

1. BAKE YOUR ESCAPE (a virtual SoMysterio.us game that you join from your own kitchen) $25 per team, debuts Sunday, February 16

2. SUGAR RUSH from Exit Games (in-person escape room in NYC) $37 per person

3. UNDERCOOKED from Omescape (in-person escape room in Sunnyvale, CA) $60 per person

DESIGNED FOR KIDS:

4. THE GREAT BAKE OFF: BROWNIE EDITION (downloadable PDF)$14.99, download and print

5. 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?
