How these cards work

Throughout these 75 cards, participants are tasked with taking on the role of the writer – and escape artist. 

Here's how it works: On each card, we provide a scenario in which a character is somehow trapped. Most often, they’re trapped physically, but sometimes they’re trapped by a set of circumstances. It’s then up to participants to use their creative thinking and problem-solving skills to figure out how the character will escape.

Ideas should be story-worthy - the would-be writers should strive to entertain their audience. 

Age range: We'd say the minimum age is around 9/10-ish. 
Created: 2025

Samples + Tips

Scenarios do range in difficulty. Some are more straightforward with ample escape avenues - others, not so much 😉


Tip! When inventing your escape plan, you can have your character rely solely on their ingenuity or you can give them some help. For instance:
  • You can give your character friends, allies or a set of skills that will help them escape. 
  • You can create an event or situation that will open up an escape opportunity.  
  • You can devise a backstory that explains why they have a unique ability that they can use to escape.  
  • In some instances, you might bring in magic or elements of fantasy to aid your character. 






Extend the activity

This is an awesome activity to build on. For example, escape ideas can be transformed into diagrams that show the escape plan, before and after illustrations, detailed escape instructions, comic strips, short films, flash fiction stories and more.
