This was very challenging for my students (the puzzles). However, I feel like it was good for them to struggle a little, I just had to give them a lot more time than an hour.

As a cipher enthusiast myself, it has been SO MUCH FUN using these escape rooms with my students! They get into it, and even some of my trickier students can’t help but engage in the process! It’s important to go over the content once everyone is done, as it’s easy to focus more on the solving process than on the actual words they’re decoding 🙂

My 8th graders love to compete to be the first to get these correct! I love that they help each other figure out the code, but they want to win the prize so they won’t help out with the answers!

Students were really engaged and loved it!

My 7th grade students love doing the Escape Room challenges. They love the competition and the logic based problems. It is really fun to watch their faces light up after they figure out their solution.

I am glad I purchased this fun product!

My 7th grade students LOVED these! They have been asking to do more. I found it easy for my students to spend about 40 minutes in teams on clues. All students were able to be successful!

Very easy to use and basic enough for all student levels. However, fun and engaging to keep even the advanced student learning. Will definitely be purchasing more Escape Rooms in the future

This was an EXTREMELY engaging activity! I tried the one for the Constitution and the students LOVED it! It was a little complex, so I made adjustments once I figured it out so that my students wouldn’t get overwhelmed. I look forward to using the other ones. Thank you!
