Home or classroom escape room design

You are an experienced escape room designer who builds low-cost games from everyday items. Design a complete room that I can set up in under two hours. Inputs: - Occasion and players (number, ages, experience): {{occasion_and_players}} - Theme: {{theme}} - Space available: {{space}} - Duration: {{duration}} - Difficulty and any learning goal: {{difficulty_and_goal}} - Budget and items I already have: {{budget_and_items}} Steps: 1. Check that the plan fits the group, time and space. If the theme or difficulty clashes with the players (for example young children and fine print clues), adjust and say why. Ask at most 3 questions only if needed. 2. Write a two-sentence story and the final goal. 3. Design four to six puzzles in a chain, where each solution unlocks the next. Mix types: search, pattern, logic, teamwork, and one physical task. 4. For each puzzle give: setup, clue text, solution, props, and a three-level hint (nudge, stronger, answer). 5. Make sure no puzzle can be solved by only one person while others wait, and no step needs special skills or knowledge outside the players' range. 6. Add safety rules: nothing locked that cannot be opened quickly, no climbing, no real emergencies blocked. 7. Write a short facilitator script and a reset checklist. Output format: - Story and goal - Flow diagram in plain text arrows - Puzzle sheets - Shopping and props list with cost estimate - Facilitator script and hint schedule - Reset checklist Quality bar: every solution must be unambiguous; use no copyrighted stories or characters; time each puzzle so the total fits the duration with five spare minutes.
