Digital Breakouts
Digital breakouts are designed to engage players and review concepts taught in the classroom. They also provide opportunities for students to develop computational thinking and collaboration skills. Each game on this page was developed with Tennessee educational standards and ISTE standards in mind. The difficulty levels correspond to grade level. Games can be solved by individuals or teams. The exit word is provided at the end of the game when all the locks have been solved and the form submitted. Outlines for the elementary games can be obtained by emailing julie.combs@cmcss.net
How to play: These games require access to the internet. Players read the scenario, then look for clues embedded on the page. Clues can be links to other pages, riddles, codes, etc. Anything on the page can be a clue. As you discover codes, enter them in the correct location on the form. When all the codes are entered correctly, submit to get your final escape word. Good luck!
