Classroom success stories from other teachers who have tried this resource:
♥ "A really awesome and engaging activity. My kids loved it so much now they are asking for escape room activities ALL the time. Thanks for the inspiration and for the excitement in my classroom!"
♥ "I used this with my 7th grade language arts classes. I opted to challenge my two honors classes by not telling them which clue went with which lock, and they found it very challenging. I gave a little more direction for my other class, and once students got the hang of it, they were off! They were all super engaged and told me that they LOVED this activity. I highly recommend this product."
♥ "Thank you so much for this! It was a really fun way to get the students interested in Halloween AND literacy."
