What is a Digital Escape?

An escape or breakout is a scavenger hunt-like game where players use teamwork and critical thinking to solve a series of challenging puzzles in order to open a locked box. Breakouts or escapes can be done digitally using a Google Form. THIS ESCAPE IS DIGITAL ONLY, NO BOXES OR LOCKS NEEDED!

 

Why Use Digital Escapes?

A digital escape requires no preparation of materials, no time spent setting up, and no purchase of a Breakout EDU kit.

To use this resource you will need to:

2. Have access to the internet.

3. Have a Google Drive and Login for the Google Drive

4. Check to make sure that your school/district does not block out of domain sharing of Google Drive resources (Forms, Docs, Slides, etc.)

NUMBER 3 and 4 ARE VERY IMPORTANT! CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY!

 

School’s Security got you blocked??? Some districts and schools block Google Sites from outside their domain, so I now include a Google Slides version of the escape! I also include the links to the forms and puzzles so that you can create your own site or embed your own links within your school’s domain!!!
