I’ve purchased 2 of these and absolutely love them! The first time, it took awhile for students to figure out how to solve them, but by the second most were able to do it without too much difficulty (still challenging for them, but they weren’t as quick to give up as the first time). I love how there are helpful hints to adjust the difficulty levels too.

My students loved this activity. It gave a lot of information about the Trojan War and they completed it in one class period (50 minutes). It was no work for me except for printing out the information. This is my second escape room from this seller. I highly recommend.

I used this escape room as a way to review the Trojan War with my Greek mythology 9th & 10th grade students. It was a little elementary but that was noted in the description. Regardless, it kept my students busy, and it was a different way to review what they learned. I’ll use it again.
