Students in Year 10 were also given the opportunity to take part in a virtual Escape Room in their Maths lessons. They were placed into teams of five and given a different problem in seven different ‘rooms’ in a school that they had to solve in order to escape.
The rooms were scrambled for each team so that everyone completed the puzzles in a different order. As some rooms were harder than others, they didn’t know how they were doing until the very end.
After completing all the rooms, there was one final challenge which was to decode the key cards and answer three questions in order to win. Each of the key cards they had received had different clues on them. The students had to work as a team to be able to solve the problem and ‘escape’.
