Get ready for an exciting Romeo and Juliet escape room! Students work in small teams to help Romeo and Juliet meet before Juliet’s wedding to Paris. They must solve a series of puzzles, each one based on the play.

First, students decode a secret letter using numbers and letters. Then, they match characters with their correct descriptions. They unscramble famous lines from the play and choose the right potion to help Juliet fake her death. In another challenge, students sort characters into the Montague and Capulet families. Each puzzle brings them closer to the final clue.

The activities are fast, fun, and full of teamwork. Students need to read carefully, think critically, and work together under pressure. Each puzzle ties directly to the characters, themes, and events from Romeo and Juliet, helping students review the story in a creative way.

The escape room is in PowerPoint format. It can be used digitaly or printed out. No internet connection is required. All answers are provided.
