Troy P. –
I had to consistently remind my students to READ the material. Most were just solving the codes and not interacting with the text. They felt great accomplishment solving the puzzles, but would not have read the material if I didn’t remind them several times.

Major life saver for my online learning! We are all having to teach online right now with the COViD-19. We were just getting started in our American Revolution unit, so having this as an optional FAMILY escape room at home was the perfect fit! I was able to adjust it for my younger students as this is designed for older – 4th and up. It’s pretty awesome! It can be modified to fit any classroom’s need…and I can still keep the learning continuing without the stress.
