What People Are Saying
“The kids loved everything about the experience - the lively, inclusionary characters, the scene-setting scripts, and the challenging but still solvable puzzles. I had the opportunity to introduce social justice topics that many of the students had not discussed before, and this opened up important conversations about tikun olam, environmentalism, and helping heal the global community.”
—Joanna Powers, Director of Hebrew and Judaics, JDS of Lehigh Valley
"Escape the Plagues was the most fun I've had with the Passover story since I was a child. It's incredibly well-designed to ensure everyone plays a role in connecting present-day community work to our ancient struggles."
—Matt Cleinman, co-founder of Puzzled Pint

“I've been waiting for years for a well-constructed puzzle accompaniment to the Passover Seder, and with this offering Enigmida not only delivers those great puzzles, but surrounds them with delightful characters in dialogue with each other about making freedom more available for everyone in our community!”
—Yossi Fendel
“I highly recommend this experience for families with children of all ages - what a wonderful way to spend time with your kids, having fun while also thinking about the impact we have on our world and how we can make it a better place.”
—Summer Herrick, owner of Locurio Escape Rooms
“Escape the Plagues is a fun family game that helps connect an ancient story of oppression to the current need for activism. As someone who grew up Catholic, I very much enjoyed playing with my Jewish partner and getting to learn more about his culture. It is a story that unfolds through thoughtfully designed puzzles, with plenty of resources for those who want to explore the topics deeper.”
—Risa Puno, creator of The Privilege of Escape
“Looking to creatively turbocharge this year's Seder? This is intergenerational Torah learning and a contemporary exploration of Jewish values at its best. I can think of no better way to innovate your Seder experience than through the lens of Tikkum Olam that is at the foundation of these playful puzzles.”
—Rabbi David Leipziger Teva
