Escape Room Challenge 2021

The CS Lewis Advanced Learning program spent Term One completing an escape room challenge. Students were placed in teams and had seven weeks to design a physical escape room. This included creating a story with a mission, designing, and creating the puzzles and creating props. Each team was provided with a variety of combination locks, invisible ink, and UV flashlights – the rest was up to them!

After a term of planning, the students thoroughly enjoyed trying to solve the other team’s challenges in Weeks 1 and 2. The challenges involved escaping from trains, sheds, World War One bunkers, science labs, asylums and banks! A variety of puzzles were made and incorporated ciphers, binary code, morse code and riddles. Some students did a terrific job designing complex puzzles that fitted the design of the room and the mission.
