End of Year Escape Room Summer Activity - Fun Team Building Breakout Game

This summer escape room breakout activity is designed for kids aged 10 and up. It is a printable activity that can be used for all subject and content areas, making it versatile for school, summer camp, girl scouts, boy scouts, summer enrichment classes, or home parties. The activity promotes teamwork, critical thinking, communication skills, and problem-solving in a fun and engaging way.

In this immersive breakout, the kids are stuck on an island and have to solve several challenges before they can leave. It begins when a mischievous parrot tells them stories of the pirates who roamed the island’s shores, and then proceeds to play a trick on them by locking the keys to their ride in a trunk. Kids will then learn all about the mysterious world of ciphers.

This activity is the perfect solution for teachers in need of quick prep end-of-year activities, summer camp counselors seeking to deliver unique experiences, scout leaders looking for engaging team-building exercises, and parents searching for fun rainy day activities.
