Escape Room Engineers
Description
Can you crack the code? In Escape Room Engineers, students become escape room designers, creating puzzles, hiding clues, and challenging other teams to beat the clock. Each week, teams lock real treasure inside a bag using key locks, number-code locks, or word locks they set themselves, then design creative puzzles to hide the key or reveal the code. Clues might include secret words scattered across sticky notes, clay sculptures of hiding spots, treasure maps, pipe-cleaner letters, tiny messages that require a magnifying glass, or jigsaw puzzles that reveal the next step.

Once their escape rooms are built, teams challenge one another to solve the puzzles, follow connected clues, and unlock the treasure before time runs out. Students will learn to write clear but challenging clues, link puzzles so each solution leads to the next, and test their designs on real players before making improvements. Between builds, they’ll play escape-room-inspired games like Pass the Key and The Keyper. The course culminates in a hallway escape room challenge, where each team builds a three-bag escape room for others to solve. No prior experience is needed!
