dIY Baby Name Reveal
escape room plan
This plan offers the ultimate fun and exciting way to reveal your new babies name to your friends and family.
Our budget friendly DIY Baby Name Reveal Escape Room plan involves multiple challenges and puzzles guests must solve in order to discover your chosen baby name.
Each challenge is color coded and coordinates with a printable CodeBuster baby bottle that when placed on the 'Reveal Wheel' will reveal one letter of the name. Solve all the challenges to get all the letters - Call out the babies name to Escape the room and eat some cake.
DIY Baby Name Reveal Escape ROom
First, OUR exclusive codebusters!
This Escape Room plan is designed around our one of a kind printable game CodeBusters. The Baby Name Reveal edition of CodeBusters includes 9 printable CodeBuster baby bottle cards each a different color to coordinate with the different colored challenges found throughout the game.
Each colored bottle will reveal a different letter of the name so if your name is only 5 letters long you will only use five of the Codebuster bottles and five of the challenges. If your chosen baby name is more than 9 letters I suggest you give your guests a free letter hint and play the game for the rest of the letters.
Each CodeBuster Bottle features a lock image that you will use a hole punch to remove the keyhole circle - once this is done it is ready to be used on the printable 'Reveal Wheel'. Players will line up the bottles nipple with the correct number (one they will learn by solving that colors challenge) and a letter will show through the keyhole. All the letters on the Reveal Wheel are editable so you can type in the letters of your baby name in the correct slots (it's super easy!) before you print. Once printed it is ready to play!
NOW IT'S TIME TO BUILD YOUR CHALLENGES!

the letter
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- Printable Editable Letter (included in this set)
The game starts with a letter that the players are given. The letter not only introduces the game, clues are also scattered throughout the letter that will help the players with other challenges. The letter is editable so that you can change it if need be to fit your escape room.
The letter also has color coded boxes on the bottom that players can write the code number discovered with each challenge, when they get them all they are ready to win the game!

the lock box
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- Box that can be locked with a padlock
- Choose your own combination lock (like this one on amazon)
- Printed Codebuster Bottles and Decoder Wheel (included in this set)
You'll want players solve all the challenges before they are able to use the CodeBuster Bottles and Decoder Wheel. This prevents them from possibly figuring out the name with just some of the letters. You want the name to be a complete surprise when finally revealed.
To achieve this you will need to lock the CodeBuster Bottles and Decoder Wheel in a box. In the letter players will read:
You'll need to solve 9 challenges to learn what we decided,
but orange, purple, pink, and green will get you inside it.
Now, the letter is editable so if your baby name reveal is less than 9 letters you can change the the number to match the letters in the name. Players will at least have to solve six challenges because they can't solve Orange without solving Brown, and they can't solve Pink without solving Yellow. But Once they do solve Orange, Purple, Pink, and Green they will be able to use those numbers as the code to open the box and get to the Baby Bottle CodeBusters and Reveal Wheel. If your baby name is shorter than six letters - simply only include as many Codebusters as you have letters in your chosen Baby Name.
For example if your baby name is Gwen. Players would still need to solve the minumum of six challenges (so they can open the box) but when they do open the lock box they will only find four Bottle CodeBusters Brown, Orange, Yellow, and Pink. When they point each Baby CodeBuster to the number that was the answer to that colors challenge one of the letters will appear, all together spelling G-W-E-N.
