This was a great activity for my students that were absent. They could complete this activity at home and learn the material they missed.

I love escape rooms from Think Tank. The first time is “the worst” because the kids get used to the cipher. Once they have those down every escape room after that moves faster.
I use the last sheet as an independent grade.
