Final Cut at Meridian Pictures

What’s inside

• One PDF of 29 pages: story, setup guide for the host, 10 puzzles + the vault, answer key and hints
• The host role: the Studio Head, who checks passwords and hands out the envelopes
• Everything you need is printed on the pages. No real locks, no outside knowledge
• Colour Edition and Printer-Friendly Edition (light backgrounds that save ink)

How to play

1. One player is the host. The host reads the setup page, prints the files and fills the envelopes before the guests arrive.
2. Print single-sided. A few pages are cut out with scissors, so keep a pair handy.
3. The team opens Envelope A and works through the puzzles. Every puzzle gives a password: a number, a word or a time.
4. The host checks each password against the Answer Key and hands over the next envelope.
5. Solve the final challenge before the clock runs out. The host has hints for every puzzle.

Who it’s for

An escape room for adults that suits a film night, a birthday, a dinner party or an office team event. 2–8 players plus one host.

Printing tips

Print single-sided on plain paper. The Printer-Friendly Edition uses light backgrounds and saves ink; the Colour Edition looks best on screen or on a colour printer. You can also mix: read on tablets and print only the pages you want to hold.
