There is a PDF file with step-by-step instructions, a link to incorporate a YouTube Video to HOOK your students into accepting a mission to find some popcorn to bribe Tom Turkey to let us out of the classroom. The mystery can only be solved by working through mystery challenges and using teamwork. Opening the box, (no locks needed) leads them to finding the microwavable popcorn and escaping the classroom to enjoy recess or a library break outside of the classroom. Ideas are included.

This escape room is NOT EDITABLE.

Made with 1st-3rd Grade students in mind!

There are 3 Tasks for the students to solve before they can break free. About 40 min. to prep and plan about 45 minutes to solve all the mystery clues.
