Escape Room English

Choose a room

Six locks per room. Every lock is an English puzzle: a reading clue, a grammar fix, a word riddle, a number or time puzzle — and a password sentence at the end.

Teacher's guide

With a class on the projector

  • Read the intro aloud, then let groups work on each clue for a minute before anyone answers. A student at the keyboard types what the class agrees on.
  • Use the hints in order: hint 1 points at where to look, hint 2 almost gives the answer. The answer button appears only after both hints.
  • Allow 15–20 minutes per room. The timer and the hint count make a natural score if two classes play the same room.

For one learner

  • Each room keeps a best time on the device (only when no answer was shown).
  • The Locked Library is A2, Station Kestrel is A2–B1, The Museum After Dark is B1.

What each lock practises

  • Reading clue: scanning a note, a log or a plan for one detail. Grammar fix: past simple, conditionals, the passive, present perfect. Word riddle: definitions and first-letter puzzles. Number puzzle: the 24-hour clock and years. Password: word order.
Answer key for teachers

Open only if you need it — the hints in the game usually get a class there.
