Cubs Online Escape Room

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

An online Escape Room designed to test the Cubs observation skills, code breaking skills, decision making skills and Map reading grid references.

The cubs have been locked in the scout hut and will need to use their skills and knowledge to navigate through the scout hut working out clues and codes to progress through to finding their way out and freedom.


Resources

Cubs will need to be able to get online to complete this challenge on their own (with some support) or in groups.
I suggest that you try out the room first online and then you can decide if you need to help them or let them go it alone.

Pen/Pencil and paper
Computer / device with access to internet - per Cub (or per six)
Zoom or conferencing/meeting software - if run remotely and if you are going to guide them online

Instructions

I would suggest running this as an online meeting. If you get the Cubs onto Zoom or another similar online meeting site, you can share your screen with the escape room running, share the link and offer limited help to guide them through the problems.
If running it at a face to face meeting, maybe get a few computers/laptops and put them into sixes to complete together, or project onto a large screen and then enter the details on a computer.

I allowed them to chose the incorrect answers and also go off and complete the other options too (make a cup of tea etc...)

you could, of course, just share the link with the Cubs family and let them take part independently and then get them to screenshot the completed last page.
