Students will be given a link to access the digital escape room. There is a timer included in the challenge but can be ignored as it has no effect on the outcome.
You do not need to provide an email address or have 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.
Students enjoy working through the challenges with a partner but they can be completed alone.
Students will need to look closely at the images on the link. Once clicked, the image links to a clue or activity which needs to be completed in the lock form.
The lock form aids the student by providing direction as to which images to click.
Answers should be written in lowercase and no spaces between the numbers.
