Whether you’re a scent connoisseur, a puzzle solver, or just looking to spice up your next gathering, Candlemania is the escape room you never knew you needed.
Plot Twist: The Fabergé Candle Heist & the Candle Goblin
Legend speaks of the Fabergé Candle—a 2,000-year-old, jewel-encrusted masterpiece rumored to possess magical powers. This treasure has never been burned and has passed through the hands of emperors and outlaws alike. But tonight, the notorious Candle Goblin is on the prowl, plotting to steal the Fabergé Candle for himself. Your mission? Outsmart the goblin, crack candle-themed codes, and claim the legendary candle before it disappears forever. Luxury candles and fall candles become more than just ambiance; they are tools, traps, and clues in this high-stakes heist.
How to Set Up Your Candle Escape Room
Start by dimming the lights and placing black candles and 3 wicks candles in strategic spots to set the mood. Choose a mix of mens candle and hand made candles to mark out puzzle stations or “safe zones.” Use outlet candles as decoys, hiding false leads, while floral candles and yellow candles guide players toward real clues. For your grand finale, make the 21oz Contempo Glass Candle the centerpiece—the “Fabergé Candle” itself, waiting to be discovered and unlocked.
Creative Candle Clues: Beyond the Flame
Not everyone wants to burn candles during game night, so Candlemania includes cold scent challenges. Hide a series of teakwood candle or teak wood candles—players must identify each one by smell alone, with no flame needed. Level up the game by writing secret passphrases or codes like “Tangy Lemonade,” “Musk,” or “Tobacco” on hidden tags attached to odd candle scents. Each correct answer reveals part of a master riddle or safe combination. Cold throw puzzles make Candlemania fun and safe for everyone, letting players use their nose to break out of the room.
Puzzle Ideas: Blending Scents with Storytelling
Create a storyline where each candle represents a chapter in the Fabergé Heist. Place valentine's day candles in a heart-shaped “secret stash,” or set up long burning candles for timed tasks—when the flame reaches a marked line, the puzzle must be solved! Try a scent-matching station: have players match lemon candle, tobacco scented candles, or natural candles soy to riddles about faraway places, secret codes, or lost love notes. Include “clue cards” where guests use the cold throw to find the right answer—no burning needed. Want even more ideas?

Hidden Messages & Candle Packs: The Future of the Game
Slip coded notes under candles, or tape phrases inside candle pack boxes (future winter collection!). Each pack might contain a unique clue, pushing players to sniff out not just the scent, but a hidden message—like “Vetiver,” “Vanilla,” or “Cherrywood.” If someone cracks the code, let them unlock the Fabergé Candle’s hiding spot! Encourage players to keep notes for future games, and let them know that new candle pack themes may debut each season.
Make It Immersive: Room Design and Atmosphere
Transform your living space into a candle-lit labyrinth. Use fall candles for autumn mystery, black candles for a gothic twist, and vacation candles for tropical detours. Create “safe rooms” with natural soy candles and use how to trim a candle wick cards as bonus challenges. If your group loves a good deal, hide clues referencing a “candle sale” for a fake in-game shop where players must barter for hints.
