Students will read 4 short passages, then answer questions related to each passage. After correctly answering the questions, they will be given a “clue.” They will then decode 4 puzzles to help them determine the final lock code.
There are 4 sets of color-coded activities. For example, there is a BLUE 4 icon for a reading passage, a BLUE question mark for questions related to the BLUE reading passage and a BLUE controller icon for a puzzle related to the reading.
It is your responsibility to ensure the links will work prior to your purchase. Test these links first on a student account.

This was a great resource to use to fill the time before going on Christmas break. It kept my students engaged, but wasn’t too difficult for them to complete on their own.

My students finished a planned escape room and begged to immediately do another. I hopped on TPT and found this one and was able to have it uploaded for them within 2 minutes. They were thrilled, as was I because it was NO PREP and they were happy.

I used this during our remote learning time before Christmas/Winter break. The students enjoyed working together in zoom breakout rooms to learn more about the various holidays showcased in this resource. They learned all kinds of new things about holidays they didn’t even know existed. Thank you for that!
