Breakout EDU is an immersive game-based learning website structured on the idea of an escape room. As in an escape room, players of Breakout EDU games work together to find clues and solve puzzles. However, instead of being locked in a room, students must figure out the combinations to unlock the locks on a mystery box before the time runs out. Many games include secret messages in invisible ink that cannot be seen without a black light flashlight and/or a digital component, which requires players to access the internet.
Digital breakout games do not require any physical items, only an internet-connected device, such as a laptop, desktop, or tablet. These games are found on the Breakout EDU digital website and vary in difficulty. Players search for clues to puzzles, like hidden links or italicized words; the puzzles' solutions provide new clues that unlock the various digital locks on the game page.
Work with your friends to see if you can successfully complete the School Daze Digital Breakout from Breakout EDU.
In this challenge you will:
1. Start by selecting one of the locks on the Breakout EDU game below. This will open the first puzzle. To make the puzzle bigger, click on the magnifying glass in the top right corner. Carefully look over the puzzle to figure out the code that will open the lock. HINT: The type of lock can help you figure out what you are looking for (numbers, letters, colors...). For example, if it is a number lock look for different possible number groupings in the picture.
2. Enter the code and then click submit to open the lock. Order does matter. If you have the right combination, the lock will open and it will turn green. If the combination is incorrect, a message will pop up telling you to try again.
3. When you are finished with the first puzzle, go to the next lock. Repeat until all of the locks are unlocked. When all lock are open, a box will pop up that says "We Broke Out!".
4. Take a screenshot of the"We Broke Out" box and share it with me at melissa.quirl@pisd.edu to receive your Breakout Badge.
