Description
The Constitutional Convention DIGITAL Escape Room will take students on a secret mission through two 360° VIEW rooms! This escape room has students decode interesting facts about the US Constitution, Founding Fathers and the Constitutional Convention. Drag the mouse or keypad to move the screen for a 360 view! All you have to do is share the link with your students!! It’s THAT easy! No prior knowledge is needed.
***STUDENT GOOGLE ACCOUNTS™ REQUIRED FOR USE***
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.

Fancy in 5th –
I recently introduced this product to my classroom, and I’m amazed by the results. As an educator, keeping students engaged is always a top priority, and this product exceeded my expectations.
Pens Puns and Prose –
It was a little difficult for my fifth grade students to navigate a few parts of the challenge, but were able to do so with teacher guidance. Thank you for this engaging resource.

This is the second digital escape room I have purchased and I plan on buying a third one! It puts an engaging and competitive twist on either introducing or reviewing the Constitutional Convention.
Jennifer B. –
Absolutely loved this and plan on using it again.
Jennifer Y. –
SO MUCH FUN!! My students absolutely love the format, and the content is great. This resource is worth every penny.
Erin N. –
I think this would be great if the ALL the puzzles worked. When prompted to “make a copy” of the Cipher and Cryptogram it states “Sorry, unable to open file at this time” I have used this type of digital escape room before with no problems, and I clicked the links prior to purchasing to insure compatibility. I need to figure out how I can be refunded as I will not be able to assign this to at-home students.
Lisa Fink –
I’m sorry you ran into a district firewall issue. If the links worked for you but not students, this is a firewall set by your district, not me. You can reach out to TPT for a refund 🙂
Trekking into History –
It took my kids a bit before they fully understood what “color coded meant,” but once they got that, they really enjoyed it. Thanks!
