Description
The Growth Mindset DIGITAL Escape Room will take students on a secret mission through two 360° VIEW rooms! This escape room has students decode inspirational quotes and facts from famous figures about Growth Mindset such as Frida Kahlo, Taylor Swift, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Mahatma Gandhi.. 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.

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 fun escape room, however it was definitely too advanced for my 4th graders. It took us a lot of time and I think would’ve worked better if they were in person to better assist them while they were going through the escape room.
Sydney G. –
The students loved this! Very engaging resource!
Theresa L. –
My students are Escape Room junkies! This was another great option!

I was so excited to use this with my students. I clicked the link to be sure that my students would be able to access it and it worked perfectly for me, but unfortunately did not work for my students. I was extremely disappointed when it didn’t work for them. I am quite tech savvy, so there wasn’t anything that was incorrect through the execution on my end. I think the link was blocked for students only and not for teachers through my district’s filter, therefore that doesn’t show when you check it through a teacher login. It was a bit disappointing since every little bit we spend matters.

My students had a lot of fun doing this.

Great product. Thank you so much!
Kathryn C. –
I really liked this activity for my students. Most of my students enjoyed this escape room, they thought it wasn’t hard but wasn’t really easy either. I had a few students that didn’t like how you had to move the room around. But overall my students enjoyed it.
