Virtual Escape Room – Something for the weekend!

We have had a really fun week with all the World Book Day activities so we thought we would give you one more to end the week. Go to your library Google Classroom and give our escape room a try.

Police investigating a theft need your help to discover the location of the stolen goods. 

The strange thing is, the culprit seems to have left some cryptic clues which, if solved correctly, could reveal some vital information. Using the evidence presented to you, work out where the stolen goods have been hidden. You must read all the instructions carefully and look at the evidence to solve the clues before moving on to the next step of the investigation. Happy sleuthing! 

Enter via the form in your library Google Classroom.

Closing date is Monday 8th March 

One winner in each year group, chosen randomly from all the correct entries.
