The kids always love a good escape room activity. It keeps them engaged and on task. My only complaint is that the types of puzzles students need to solve tend to be the same even with different escape room themes. It makes it much less challenging once they get the hang of it.

I use escape rooms in both my science and social studies classes. I love that Think Tank has both types of resources to choose from. It makes it easy to implement and not have to reteach how to navigate each time. My students are always excited to see we are doing one of these.
Andrea M. –
I LOVE a good escape room, and I’ve used many from this creator in the past. The information is thorough, yet not overwhelming for my age group. The puzzles are of a consistent format, but just challenging enough for middle schoolers. I love teaching about the Industrial Revolution, and this is one of my new favorite activities to use at the end of the unit!
Caitlin M. –

My students love escape rooms! This one was a great purchase!
Emily S. –
This was such a fun introduction to the Revolutionary War! My 5th graders worked in groups, and it was fun to see how they had to work together to solve the puzzles. It allowed everyone to lead and problem-solve as some quickly caught on to one puzzle but struggled with others. This is a great resource that I will use yearly!
