Students will need to be able to access the internet to complete this activity. It runs on a Google Form™, but does not require you to be a Google Classroom™ user. No e-mail addresses or personal information are collected in the form. The form works on tablets, laptops, Chromebooks™, or even phones. The Google Form™ completely automates the escape room. Students will only be allowed to progress through the puzzles as the correct answers are entered. This activity is very easy to implement. Simply print a note from the elves for each group of students, a "Helper Page" to guide students in showing their work on a few of the puzzles, and use the QR code or URL to access the form!
This digital escape room can can be used for distance learning. If you are teaching remotely, please view the directions on page 22-24 for tools and tips for virtual implementation of this product.

FAQ
- Do students need to have Gmail™ accounts? NO! Anyone with internet access and a tablet, computer, or even phone can complete the breakout.
- How long will this take? That is the hardest question as the answer varies depending on each classroom, student, or group. Some students with a firm grasp on the concepts covered in this escape room will be able to complete the challenge quickly (20-30 minutes), but most will take longer. The majority of students will take between 35-55 minutes. The form will not save student data, so if you are worried about your students not finishing on time, simply have them write their answers on scratch paper. They can then come back and quickly re-enter their answers and pick up where they left off.
- Will students have to search the web to figure out the puzzles? NO! All of the information needed will be provided in the Google Form™. The math in this activity is all standards-based.
- Can this be used for distance learning? Absolutely! The last three pages of the pdf include detailed directions and tips to help you successfully implement this activity for remote learning.
