Thank you for this bundle. My students love Escape Rooms, and this is a great way to keep them engaged in historical topics. They accidentally learn history while playing and are usually excited and surprised by what they learn.

I have only been able to use the Jamestown escape room, however, if the rest are as comprehensive as this one, I’m sure my students will love it. Thanks for a great product!
