  • The guide contains hints to help the students as well as the solutions to the challenge’s puzzles.
  • This escape challenge is best tackled in teams. We suggest forming teams of 2 to 4 students per computer, which will encourage them to help each other and progress together. Two heads (or more) are better than one!
  • Your students can team up with other students remotely, whether they’re at home or in other classrooms. To do so, we suggest the students each open the challenge on their own screen (computer, tablet, etc.) and communicate with their teammates via an app (e.g. Messenger, Skype, Zoom) so they can see each other and discuss the different solutions.
