Make learning about Versailles  interesting with this no-prep digital escape game.  The game includes access to a website where your students will hunt for the keys to unlock a set of locks.  Students will need to read the clues very carefully and watch videos, visit websites, and read texts to find the information they need to win the game.  Very easy to use - just send your students to the website and let them work!  Students can play individually or in teams.

Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit.  They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event.  This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.  

This item includes:

• Access to a website where your students can play the game
• Complete teacher's guide to playing the game
• Answer key so you can help students if they get stuck!

Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning!  The challenging game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock - and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention - there's no way to solve the puzzles  without being 100% focused!

One  version is entirely in English so your level 1 and 2 students can enjoy  the game.  The clues are a little tricky, but the information pages are  in English so it will be challenging but not too challenging.

The  other version is in French for upper levels.  The clues are a little  clearer in what the students are looking for, but the information pages  are in French so they will still be challenged.  You may have to give your students some hints if you use the French version, as it can be challenging! The one video clue is in French but the video is in English, as otherwise it would be too frustrating for all but the most advanced students.

The included topics are:

• King of the castle
• History of the construction
• Food and drink
• Marie’s interesting hobby
• Symbolism of Louis XIV
• Recent challenges

Prep is very easy - you just need to share the website URL with your students.  You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district.  As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones.  With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key - so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock - just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.
