The Star Over Bethlehem: A Nativity Escape Room (Printable, KJV)

Turn your Christmas gathering into an adventure. The Star Over Bethlehem is a printable escape room that walks players through the Nativity story exactly as the King James Bible tells it, from Caesar's decree to the gifts of the wise men.

Players solve 9 Scripture based puzzles: a Caesar cipher hiding the angels' song, a number code revealing the flight into Egypt, word scrambles, hidden words, and more. Every puzzle earns one letter. Collect all 9, unscramble them, and name the town where Jesus was born. That is how you escape.
