Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys escape rooms and puzzle-solving games, I have some gift ideas that will surely ignite his problem-solving skills and provide him with hours of entertainment:

1. Escape Room Board Game: Consider gifting him an escape room board game, such as "Exit: The Game" or "Unlock! Mystery Adventures." These games allow players to work together to solve puzzles and riddles in order to escape a scenario within a set time limit. They often come with multiple scenarios, offering hours of gameplay.

2. Puzzle Cubes and Brainteasers: If your son enjoys solving puzzles and brain teasers, he might appreciate cube puzzles like the Rubik's Cube or other mechanical puzzles, such as the Hanayama series. These mind-bending puzzles can keep him engaged and challenged, as they require strategy, logic, and problem-solving skills.

3. Mystery Subscription Box: Consider subscribing your son to a mystery-themed subscription box, such as "Escape the Crate" or "Finders Seekers." These boxes deliver a new mystery or puzzle-solving experience each month, containing clues, codes, and riddles for him to decipher. It's a great way for him to continue enjoying the thrill of escape rooms from the comfort of his own home.

4. Escape Room Experience: Treat your son to an actual escape room experience. Look for local escape room venues that offer various themes and difficulty levels. This can be a fun outing for him and a group of friends or family members. Just make sure to check safety precautions and age restrictions before booking.

5. Puzzle Book Collection: There are numerous puzzle books available that cater to different interests and difficulty levels. Consider getting your son a collection of puzzle books, such as crosswords, sudoku, logic puzzles, or brain teasers. This way, he can challenge himself whenever he has the time or is looking for a mental workout.

6. DIY Escape Room Kit: Another unique gift idea is to get him a DIY escape room kit. These kits allow him to set up his own escape room experience at home, complete with clues, lockboxes, and riddles. It's a great way for him to get creative and challenge his friends or family members to a unique escape room experience.

7. Online Escape Room Experience: With the growing popularity of virtual escape rooms, you can gift your son an online escape room experience. Look for websites that offer interactive escape room challenges that can be played online with friends or as a solo adventure. It's a fantastic way to enjoy the excitement of escape rooms from anywhere in the world.

Remember, the key to finding the perfect gift is to consider your son's preferences and interests. Choose something that aligns with his passion for escape rooms and puzzle-solving, and he will truly appreciate the thoughtfulness and effort you put into finding the perfect gift for him.

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.”
