About The Nordic Necklace
Clara Ridley, founder of the Amazing Adventure Society, receives a postcard from an old friend, and her next adventure begins. You follow the story page by page; every puzzle hides an answer of one or more words, and each answer unlocks the next part of the mystery of the Nordic Necklace.
Printable Escapes, the print-at-home escape room label of The Other Tales, offers this game as a free sample of its full-length adventures (Gatekeeper, Pirate’s Quest). It is set up exactly like the paid games, only shorter: about 15 to 30 minutes. The publisher describes it as designed for adults but family friendly and a good one to try with teens. It suits 2 to 4 players best, and one person can solve it alone. With a bigger group, print two copies and race.
How to get it: the “Purchase now” button opens the publisher’s DPD checkout, where the item is listed as “The Nordic Necklace - Free Game” at no cost. The cart first offers Gatekeeper at a discount; click “No thanks” to continue with the free game only.
