Kafka's Metamorphosis Escape Room

By Language Arts Excellence

Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis is not an easy text to grasp, even for adults. This escape room is the perfect way to review the renowned tale in a fun yet rigorous way so that your students come away from the lesson with a greater understanding of Kafka's existentialist masterpiece.

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Escape Room for Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.

The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game.

How does it work?

In this escape room, your students have inexplicably transformed into "horrible vermin" and can only turn back into normal teenagers by solving 5 different skills-based puzzles, discovering codes, and finding clues along the way.

  • Missing Word: In the third task, students fill in the blanks of notable quotes within the story.
  • Plot it Out: In the fourth task, students must order the plot events of Metamorphosis on Freytag's Pyramid.
  • Jig Saw Quote: In the final task, students must complete a jig saw puzzle (2 separate puzzles included for differentiation) that reveals a quote from Franz Kafka that connects to major themes within Metamorphosis. Once they figure it out and bring it to you, your students transform back into human beings!
