This is published FOR GAME LEADERS ONLY who need help participants who may be stuck on with the clues. The Steps This is a 6-step Puzzle: Find a key hidden in the room that opens a locked suitcase which contains a 3-digit math puzzle and Matthew 5:16 poster that, when solved, contain clues to open a box locked with a 3-digit lock that contains a word scramble and UV flashlight which will help kids find and solve a crossword puzzle written in invisible ink that has the clue to use the word scramble and missionary codes to open the four-digit lock Clues for Step 1 The key is taped to the ceiling above the table.

Clues for Step 4 The word scramble spells REDEEMER. Clues for Step 5 Using the clue in Matthew 5:16 (“Let your light shine before men, that. they may see your good works…“), use the UV flashlight to shine on the yellow paper and solve the crossword puzzle clues. The crossword puzzle: This puzzle is left on the table at the beginning of the game as both a clue and a red herring. Only the solutions to 7-down, 11-down, and 12-across are actually needed to solve the puzzle. Down 1– Families can be _____ forever 3– Nephi will __ and do, 1 Ne 3:7 5– ___ and ye shall find, Matthew 7:7 7– _____ ye this day, Joshua 24:15 (CHOOSE) 9– Ezra and Northrop, ___ your ears!

The four-digit lock solution is 8577. Final Note for Game Leaders So based on the above, to use my clues out of the box you will set your 3 digit lock to 767, and your 4 digit lock to 8577.

This is an escape/breakout room I created for a combined YW/YM activity a year or so ago. I set up six rooms in the building with identical clues so that each group of up to 8 kids could compete against each other and hopefully escape during the time allotted for mutual. The goal was to keep the supplies low enough that cost of supplies was reasonable for mutual, while still being challenging. I’m pretty sure I spent about $60 for the 6 rooms, but it’s been a while….. We had two groups of six successfully escape. This was a super fun activity! The mission Youth pretend to be missionaries who have to visit another companionship’s apartment. Suddenly the door slams shut behind them and locks! Using clues in the room and things they can look up on their cell phones, youth will figure out the lock code to escape. The Steps This is a 6-step Puzzle: Find a key hidden in the room that opens a locked suitcase which contains a 3-digit math puzzle and Matthew 5:16 poster that, when solved, contain clues to open a box locked with a 3-digit lock that contains a word scramble and UV flashlight which will help kids find and solve a crossword puzzle written in invisible ink that has the clue to use the word scramble and missionary codes to open the four-digit lock Items needed for your Breakout Room: the attached files, printed card stock or paper in each of the YW value colors invisible UV blacklight pen UV flashlights two suitcases or locked boxes per room one 4-digit lock per room one lock and key per room one 3-digit lock per room one Children’s Songbook per room one 3-M Command Hook per room (big enough to hold up the 4-digit lock) a suit coat per room, tossed in a random location (I put the 8 sheets of paper in YW values colors in the coat pocket) tape several rolls of Smarties per room (THIS IS IMPORTANT) OPTIONAL: a couple of socks, neckties or other items that might be used by a missionary, tossed around randomly, if desired Before Your Activity… Before the activity, use the invisible ink to draw the crossword puzzle on the YELLOW (Good Works) paper as shown: I wrote “Other side” on the blank side of the yellow sheet of paper where the crossword puzzle was written. I also wrote random, uplifting messages on the memes in invisible ink so they’d show up with the UV flashlight when the lights were turned out, like “Keep looking” and “You’re almost there” or “Not here”. *For the record, I tried several different invisible inks. Spend the money on the UV inks. They are much superior to anything else. Room set up 1.Tape these memes and clues to the walls or other places where they won’t damage any paint. Most of these are just red herrings for kicks and giggles: Forget the Bishop – https://thepartysaint.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/forget-the-bishop-meme.pdf Note to Self – https://thepartysaint.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Note-toSelf.pdf (CLUE) Bore Testimony Meme – https://thepartysaint.com/2019/04/25/jennys-free-mutual-escape-breakout-room Spirit of Love Meme – https://thepartysaint.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/spirit-of-love-meme.pdf (I used this because it was the mutual theme that year) Young Men Missionary Meme – https://thepartysaint.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/YM-MISSIONARY-MEME.pdf Young Women Missionary Meme – https://thepartysaint.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/YW-MISSIONARY-MEME.pdf 2. Tape the key (to the locked suitcase) to the ceiling above the table. 3. Put the UV flashlight, Smarties, and Missionary Codes inside the suitcase locked with your 3-digit lock. 4. Put a table in the middle of the room. Place the Email – A Note From Home and Crossword Clues documents on it. Also put a sharpened pencil or pen on the table for youth to use when solving puzzles. 5. Put the 8 sheets of paper in young women colors in the suit pocket and toss the coast over a chair. 6. Attach the 4-digit lock to a door jamb using the 3-M Command Hook so that you don’t damage the building. I didn’t try to actually lock the kids in the room — we just pretended using the hook and four-digit lock. Youth Instructions: Each group of up to 8 kids received a copy of these instructions: Please read and follow these instructions completely BEFORE entering the room! Instructions: 1. Only one person per missionary group has a phone, so you may have only one smartphone or tablet in the room. The youngest person in the group operates the smartphone. Everyone else, please stack your phones/devices outside the door and leave them there during the game. 2. The youngest person may use the smart device to look up information. 3. Check your math! 4. Don’t break anything! Scenario: You are missionaries who have gone into another companionship’s apartment, when the door slams shut behind you and locks! Luckily the missionaries have left clues behind that will help you figure out the lock code to escape. Tips: 1. Start out by walking around the room and calling out what you see. Sharing what you see helps everyone get on the same page sooner. 2. Use everyone on your team so you can work faster! Split puzzles up into parts to get everyone working. 3. If you get stuck, call/text the mission president at xxx-xxx-xxxx for help. The mission president’s number was my cell number. Unlike a real escape room, I didn’t have a reasonable way to watch the kids in each room, so I gave them a way to ask for help if they needed it. I also walked around and checked on each room a few times during the game. We had the youngest person cell phone restriction so that younger kids wouldn’t get left out of the game. I am not including my printable for this. You can make your own easily and adapt it if you have special rules or other adaptations you need to make. The Clues: Following are the important clues for the game to work: Email to Mom says: Wed, Apr 1 1, 2018 at 10:41 AM To: mymissionary@ldsmissionariesarecool.com Dear Elder Son, It was great to get your email this week. You always write the best emails, full of scripture references that I look up. I know life can get discouraging but hang in there. Chin up! And remember what your father always says: “The key to your problems is turning to a Higher Power. If you look up and move forward your path will be sure.” Your father and I love you and know you will succeed! Love, Mom PS — I looked it up, and there are 7 temples in California, 17 temples in Utah, and 6 temples in Arizona! The purpose of this email is to get the kids to look up and find the key, which has been taped to the ceiling. I found taping the key to the fluorescent light fixtures worked well. Note to Self Says: Note to self: Elder Smith’s favorite song is 267a in the Children’s Songbook! Must memorize! This gives the kids the song and page number they’ll need later. You could write the text of Note to Self on the chalkboard so there are some things that are different in the room, but since not every space I used had a chalkboard, I made a printout. Word Scramble: This proved surprisingly challenging for some groups. Here’s what the cards look like: Missionary Codes: Elder Young’s Codes AR – 6 DE – 2 EM – 6 ER – 1 ES – 6 FA – 6 GRI – 7 IN – 8 LI – 2 MI -5 MO – 7 RE – 3 RM – 5 TE – 5 TY – 3 Elder Johnson’s Codes AR – 1 DE – 2 EM – 3 ER – 4 ES – 5 FA – 6 GRI – 7 IN – 8 LI – 9 MI – 8 MO – 7 RE – 6 RM – 5 TE – 4 TY – 3 Elder Gomez’ codes AR – 76 DE – 32 EM – 92 ER – 98 ES – 43 FA – 26 GRI – 98 IN – 11 LI – 67 MI – 33 MO – 0 RE – 56 RM – 31 TE – 34 TY – 09 Elder Woodruff’s Codes AR – 57 DE – 23 EM – 29 ER – 89 ES – 34 FA – 62 GRI – 89 IN – 11 LI – 76 MI – 33 MO – 0 RE – 65 RM – 13 TE – 43 TY – 90 Elder Smith’s Codes AR – 9 DE – 0 EM – 4 ER – 3 ES – 1 FA – 1 GRI – 1 IN – 0 LI – 6 MI – 1 MO – 7 RE – 9 RM – 0 TE – 1 TY – 2 Elder Pratt’s Codes AR – 0 DE – 0 EM – 0 ER – 0 ES – 0 FA – 1 GRI – 1 IN – 0 LI – 0 MI – 1 MO – 0 RE – 0 RM – 0 TE – 1 TY – 0 Elder White’s Codes AR – 8 DE – 5 EM – 7 ER – 7 ES – 3 FA – 2 GRI – 2 IN – 0 LI – 7 MI – 4 MO – 7 RE – 8 RM – 9 TE – 1 TY – 3 Elder Moore’s Codes AR – 1 DE – 2 EM – 3 ER – 4 ES – 5 FA – 6 GRI – 7 IN – 8 LI – 9 MI – 8 MO – 7 RE – 6 RM – 5 TE – 4 TY – 3 These provide the four-digit lock code to exit the room, in combination with the solution to the word scramble puzzle. You can alter these numbers to be anything you like — just make sure you use the RE DE EM and ER. 3 Digit Lock Code Math Puzzle: The Crossword Puzzle This puzzle is left on the table at the beginning of the game as both a clue and a red herring. Only the solutions to 7-down, 11-down, and 12-across are actually needed to solve the puzzle.

Well, it came up again on our Seminary Teacher’s Facebook group–The Activity That Won’t Die: the Flight 227 airplane crash activity. I was astonished to see it appear on the page, actually.  I thought I had squelched it years ago with my forum posts regarding the First Presidency letter warning members not to wear all white at activities.  But no dice…. If you’re looking for a fun LDS activity, please don’t do the plane crash.  There are much better activities that don’t Mimic temple patterns, like passing “through the veil”, or moving from room to room where lights and other symbols represent degrees of glory Potentially alienate struggling members or those with family members who aren’t making wise decisions right now End with an arbitrary “judgment” — not based on merit or actions — but based on random assignments Make entertainment — mockery — of the deaths of those who have actually died in plane crashes Perpetuate doctrinal errors Leave the teaching of the degrees of glory to the temple or D&C 76, and please don’t crash any planes in the name of teaching or entertainment in your unit.

My cousin taught me how to play Froggy Murder at a family reunion. Froggy Murder doesn’t take any set up, and it’s a fun activity you can use to fill up time at the end of a Wednesday evening or camp activity. All ages can play the game, and it’s lots of fun to see how dramatically people act out when they’re dead. Variation of: Wink Murder Safer form of: Murder in the Dark How to play Froggy Murder Select one person to be the Moderator. Select another person to be the Detective. Determine how many tries the Detective gets to catch the Frog (I suggest 3-5 chances). All players sit on the floor in a circle with the Detective in the center. The Detective may be seated or standing. Everyone, including the Detective, covers their eyes, while the Moderator walks around the circle to select someone to be the Frog. The Moderator will tap one person on the shoulder as he or she walks around. No one but the Moderator and Frog will know who has been selected. Everyone opens their eyes. Each person will look around the circle. The Frog can “kill” members of the circle by sticking his or her tongue out very quickly. The Frog tries to kill members of the group without being seen by the Detective. If a person sees the Frog stick out his or her tongue, that person must immediately fall over dead, “dying” as dramatically as possible. Game play continues until the Detective guesses the name of the Frog correctly or runs out of guesses. Detective has a predetermined number of guesses to choose the Frog. When the game is over, choose a new Detective, and start at Step One, with the moderator choosing a new Frog. Now you know how to play Froggy Murder!

I read about this awesome game at https://howdoesshe.com/how-to-play-human-foosball/ It sounds like it’d be so much fun for mutual! Human foosball is a game to be played in the gym or out of doors inside of a fenced in or boxed in area. It’s basically like kickball, but you play while holding on to a PVC pipe and only move horizontally to the goals. This is a great activity for mutual, because all you need are PVC pipes or pool noodles, and a ball. Follow the instructions at https://howdoesshe.com/how-to-play-human-foosball/ to find out how to make your own human foosball game!

Hello! I have used so many of your great ideas in lessons or activities I thought that maybe one of my ideas could be helpful for someone, somewhere. I teach the 11-year old boys in Primary. I love my calling! A few months ago, I was asked to speak at the “Priesthood Preview”. That’s where the boys and their parents come to learn more about receiving the Priesthood. I searched the internet, looking for ideas and there was nothing out there…..so I turned to prayer. I was asked to speak about “Power”. As I prepared for the talk, it became more and more apparent to me that the Priesthood is the most powerful source of “power” in the world…and that my 11 year-olds were going to receive this power this year! WOW! I thought about their little hands and all of the good their hands will do in this life. It was humbling! I decided to take a picture of each boys hands, blow it up (8×10″) and frame it for their wall……as a reminder of this “power” that they will hold in their hands. I spoke about the importance of having clean hands and using those hands to bless the lives of others throughout their lives. Amy H

We used clip art from your site for the flyers and magnets. I’ve included the Examples of the Savior Use of the Five Love Lanuages as well as the magnet and flyer pages here. If you could add them to the general description I would appreciated it. Your site is a great resource. Thank you for your efforts. Darcy, in Indiana — Examples of the Savior’s Use of The Five Love Languages “As I have Loved you- love one another” John 15:12 Words of Affirmation John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace… Luke 8:46-48 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Luke 11:9&10 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Luke 7:44-48 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven… Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
