Description

In this engaging Ancient Rome escape room activity, students are introduced to the mysterious Etruscan alphabet that was heavily influenced by the Greeks (and went on to influence Latin) as they crack several hidden messages relating to the ancient Romans! Can you crack the code before time expires?

Students are placed in investigative teams as they analyze fictional ancient texts written in the Etruscan language. Students work together to translate four clues regarding ancient Roman history, then bring all of their knowledge together to solve the final clue. Do you have what it takes to crack the hidden clues?

Students use the ancient Etruscan cipher to translate four secret clues, conduct research or use background knowledge on the ancient Romans, and solve the final clue by piecing together the information they have learned. A 60-minute timer is also included to display as student teams try to break the code!

Guaranteed to excite and engage your classroom!

Leave your students asking for more (like mine do)!

Don't have a box or a lock? No worries -- simple workaround ideas are included that keep students focused!
