A puzzle card is an escape room experience in a birthday card card. The recipient must survey the scene inside, look for clues, and solve a series of puzzles to reach the final answer and escape. "While bird watching on the roof of an old abandoned building the ceiling suddenly gives way beneath you. You fall into a large dusty room full of shelves. Finding a note on the floor you pick yourself up. Your eyes begin to adjust to the darkness as the smell of death and nostalgia fills your lungs. This place seems very old yet familiar..." Designed for one person but more fun to solve with friends, Escape the Video Store is set in a dusty old video store, and requires players to think laterally and apply their pre-2000s movie knowledge to solve the mystery. —description from the designer
