Work, Energy and Power Digital Escape Room

Welcome to Hollow Grove, a small town surrounded by dense forests and whispered legends of the supernatural.

As a group of students on a camping trip, you arrive at the mysterious old mansion rumored to be haunted. The wind howls through the trees as you approach the creaky gate.

The story runs alongside tasks to test students’ knowledge and understanding of work, power and energy.

The escape room is interactive. Students can move objects and click on them to reveal clues. No handouts are required but scrap paper is useful as some clues need to be written down and rearranged.

There are gentle hints at the top of each page but students should click around the whole room to move or reveal clues.

It is important clues are solved as they are required to pass to the next page.

The escape room is a great end-of-topic task to check student´s understanding in a novel way.

What is a digital escape room?

Digital Escape rooms are an interactive activity that promotes both individual learning and peer collaboration through problem-solving. Each escape room has a range of activities to challenge the students whilst also covering the specification. This means they are an excellent resource to use as a revision tool. All of the activities are online, eliminating the need for printing materials.

How does the escape room work?

Students will be given a link to access the digital escape room. You do not need to provide an email address or a Google account to access the material. Escape rooms can be completed on laptops, tablets, and mobile phones, so they can be set as homework or used in cover lessons.

Starting the Task

• Give students the link to the escape room

• Students can enjoy working through the challenges with a partner but they can be completed alone.

• Students will need to look closely at the images. Some objects can be moved to reveal clues, others need to be clicked on.

• There is a teacher answer sheet provided if you need to guide students. Hints/answers will appear after one minute to help students.
