Of Mice and Men Escape Room Bundle: 3 Escape Rooms, Digital and Paper

WHAT'S INSIDE: 98 pages in 77 files

• Escape Room A, The New Hand (Chapters 1-2): two locks, about 15 minutes of solving, every answer a plot fact from the text. One lock is an illustrated combination padlock that students turn by the dials.
• Escape Room B, Every Man's Share (Chapters 2-4): teams fact-check ten tags against the book and stamp WRONG on the false ones, run a chore round on a ranch map and find the final word. One shared packet per team; digital teams see the same clues on screen.
• Escape Room C, What the Valley Keeps (the whole novel): turn a brass decoder wheel, follow a boot-print trail across an illustrated ranch map and build the final two words from the book. Every lock is a plot fact or described detail, never reprinted text.

Each room is a Digital Room and a Paper room, in Forms A to D, with its own answer key, check cards, reflection page and a Read First sheet with the timing and hint steps. Honors and Academic classes use the same rooms.

HOW IT RUNS

• Escape Room A: run it after Chapter 2. About 15 minutes of prep; about 25 minutes in class with the reflections.
• Escape Room B: run it after Chapter 4. About 20 minutes of prep (one packet per team and the check cards for each form you use); about 55 minutes of class, with an optional two-session plan in its Read First.
• Escape Room C: run it after Chapter 6. About 40 minutes of prep (packets, the paper cipher wheels, optional bonus cards, host set-up). One period of 55 minutes or longer with both reflections, or two sessions.

PRINT AND DIGITAL

The Paper room runs on its printed pieces and needs no device. The Digital Rooms and host screens are web files that open offline in Chrome or Edge on Windows, and they also work in Chrome on Chromebooks.
