Met expectations
Great value
Escape rooms were so effective in my 5th grade social studies class. I am always amazed at how much they learn in one class period from these engaging activities!

This was fun. I have 11th graders, but this was still a challenge for most of them. The small minority was able to knock this out in no-time flat, but the majority had to work to get this completed. It took a full class and made an easy day for me. Just some copies, four colors of paper for the decoder pages and then I laminated them so the kids could pass them around. I hope you have more like this for other topics. I'll be checking your store!
