Digital Escape Room - Lockdown

This resource is a digital escape room. It is a fun and engaging online activity. It is NO PREP and paperless. It can be used with students in small groups, individually or whole class. It can be used in class or in distance learning. All you need to do is share the Google Sites™ website link with your students and away they go!

I have created this resource primarily as a fun warm-up activity to begin a period of learning about Space, or it can be used as a fun celebratory activity at the completion of a period of learning about Space. Or, simply a fun online digital Escape Room activity in itself.

What is a digital escape room?
A digital escape room is an online game where students solve a series of puzzles or problems to find clues to codes. Once they have all the codes they can unlock their way out of the digital escape room. Students work collaboratively in groups of 2 or 3 or independently in order to escape or breakout. This escape room has 4 codes to break. Escape rooms are fun and engaging for students!
This escape room is a medium level for Year 5-7 and should take your students 15-45 minutes to complete, depending on their ability levels.

This resource is a Google Sites webpage with several different types of links hidden within it.

You will receive a single document. This document contains directions and instructions on how to use the resource, a link to the activity website and all the answers to the codes. The link can be copied and shared with students.

This resource includes;
Teacher notes, with instructions, link to activity website and all answers to codes

Escape rooms promote;
Working collaboratively
Using problem solving skills
Communication
Critical thinking skills
Technology skills
Working together to reach a goal
Having fun

Learning how to navigate the page, search for clues, and input answers into the form in a specific format are great skills for students to acquire.

Please note: This resource uses Google Sites. Some schools have placed security restrictions on their student accounts, and students cannot open content from users outside their organization. I unfortunately do not have any way to grant access to them in this situation. This has been very rare, but if you know your students’ access is limited, you may want to check to see if they can access it before planning to use this resource. If your students can access my Test Site Escape Room then they will be able to use this resource.
