Back to School Digital Escape Room (With Student Work Pages)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
This resource is a back to school digital escape room that has three rooms with 10 codes to decipher in each. Students will use a pigpen cipher, emoji code and letter wheel to solve 30 total coded words that are all school related.

When all 10 coded words have been answered correctly, a key will pop up automatically at the bottom of that page. As students collect these keys, they will appear on the first Google Sheet Page labeled "Directions and Key Collection Page." When all three keys have been collected, a message saying "You Did It!" will appear on the Directions and Key Collection Page.
Students will navigate from room to room using the bottom tabs on the Google Sheets pages labeled:
-Directions and Key Collection Page
-Room 1
-Room 2
-Room 3
This is a fun, engaging activity to do in the first week or two of school as you are meeting new students, getting into the routines but need activities to fill the time before academics begin.
