Hands on Teaching Ideas (https://teachingideas.ca/) This site for general teacher resources has multiple posts on DIY escape rooms and puzzles.
Escape Room Geeks Blog (https://escaperoomgeeks.com/blog/) This site is primarily focused on selling print-at-home kits, but it also features several blog posts with DIY escape room advice and puzzle ideas.
lock paper scissors (https://lockpaperscissors.co/) This site provides (mostly paper-based) kits to set up a home escape room. It also provides several puzzle ideas and advice for doing things on your own.
Escape This Podcast (https://www.escapethispodcast.com/) Taking a different approach, this podcast features a cross between escape rooms and tabletop roll playing (like D&D). The podcast recordings feature a person working through the puzzles they have made. The site also provides all the materials prospective dungeon masters need to host other players.
