How does it work?

Instead of coming into your room this morning, your students have entered Inverness, the castle of the new king, King Macbeth. Word has it that he has gone a little crazy lately and all of his ‘friends’ have been dropping like flies. Now he’s starting to look at your students a little funny too.... and in order to survive, they must flee from the castle as fast as they can! The only way to escape is by solving 5 different skills-based puzzles, discovering a hidden message, and finding clues along the way.

• In the first task, students must order the major plot points of Macbeth on Freytag's Pyramid. When ordered correctly, letters in the shaded boxes on the chart form their first code.
• In the second task, students must match each character from Macbeth with their description by drawing a line connecting them. Letters not intersected by these lines will form their second code word.
• In the third task, students must complete fill-in-the-blank sentences using vocabulary words from the play. The vocabulary cards, once assembled correctly, will reveal the third code.
• In the fourth task, students must complete a crossword puzzle about major plot points, characters, setting, and quotes from the play. Circled letters within the crossword, once unscrambled, reveal their fourth code.
• In the fifth and final task, students must solve the encrypted message (a notable quote from Macbeth) using clues from the first four tasks and answer the final question.
