How does it work?

In this escape room, students will try to escape from Gilead into Canada by solving 5 different puzzles, discovering an encrypted message, and finding clues along the way.

• In the first task, students must match characters to quotes they said within the novel. Highlighted boxes in the correct answers will reveal the code.
• In the second task, students must solve a word maze (because "a rat is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze") and collect letters along the way that will reveal the code.
• In the third task, students must solve a colorful jig saw puzzle that when intact, displays an important quote from the novel.
• In the fourth task, students must answer challenging multiple choice questions about the novel that when correct, reveal the code.
• In the fifth and final task, students must decode an encrypted message (a quote from The Handmaid's Tale) from symbols they collected along the way.
