A brand new, fun and educational escape room, centred around ancient Egypt and the mysterious disappearance of a missing artifact. Work against the clock to solve the mystery before the dawn of the winter solstace, practicing history skills, critical thinking skills, teamwork and much more.
Created with a target age of 11 to 14, this challenging escape room should provide a fun and educational end-of-year activity for your students!
Set in the ancient Egypt exhibit at the British Museum, the escape room requires the students to follow a set of clues in their quest to find a missing scroll, believed to contain the secrets of the ancient Egyptian sun god, Ra.
Professor Evelyn Westwood, the renowned archaeologist who discovered it, has vanished under mysterious circumstances, and the scroll has gone with her.
By solving a collection of puzzles, your students will be guided from room to room on their quest to find a sacred missing artifact, the lost scroll of Ra.
While the escape room is intended to be challenging, there is a great deal of support available to help your students in their quest, including explainer videos and animated hints/solutions that can accessed on the main PowerPoint.
