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.

I have used this in person and remotely always with great results! It is always a great way to bring diversity into the classroom. Such a great activity for a time when students would rather be doing anything but school work.

Using escape rooms are a great way to get students to check their understanding, and they hold students accountable to not rush through their work.

I used this with one of my 12 classes. It is a great resource I just found it took a little longer for my students to solve than I was wanting. Will use later when more time is allowed.
