Students will work in pairs (or individually) and race to complete 6 puzzles. A friendly competition always increases engagement. Students will use reading comprehension skills to complete the 6 short passages, 12 questions, and 6 puzzles.

No grading involved! This is a SELF-CHECKING digital activity that offers immediate student feedback. The questions are set with “answer validation,” therefore, students cannot move on to the next challenge until they enter the answers correctly. This ensures that students actually read the passages! Students WILL need scratch paper to record clues.

How do Digital Escape Rooms work? All you need to do is send students the link! This digital escape room has students working through SIX rooms with a 360° view. Each “room” has hidden icons that lead to a reading passage, puzzle hint, and puzzle to decode. Students will answer questions for each reading passage, then use the decoder to determine the puzzle answer. Drag the mouse or keypad to move the screen for a 360° view! Please note: You will not be able to collect scores or data since this is a self-checking, digital activity.

What do I need to access the activity? You need access to the internet and technology devices (Chromebooks, iPads, or laptops). Google accounts are NOT needed! (no e-mail addresses are required) This is a DIGITAL activity only and it is NOT editable. There is also a “Read to Me” option which allows the students to hear the passage read to them. If they choose this option, be sure they have headphones. Cell phone use is not recommended.
