LDS-themed escape room.
For our combined youth activity at church during September, we crafted an escape room. Our class (the Laurels) were in charge of planning the activity, but since I wanted the girls to be able to participate, they were limited in what they could actually contribute to constructing the escape room.
Constructing seven virtually identical escape rooms to accommodate over fifty youth took loads of time, not surprisingly. I based the design on a download I obtained from Latter-day Breakout. I tweaked it a bit to suit our purposes (and to save a bit of money) and am delighted to say that it turned out great!
Peeking in each room to see the kids interacting without the use of smart phones, digging into their scriptures and using their brains made me absolutely giddy. I love these young men and women! Each group made it out just shy of the allotted one hour time limit and, if I’m not mistake, they all had a good time. Mission accomplished.
