Speciality K-12 Breakouts can be used to teach core academic subjects including math, science, history, language arts and have embedded standards that apply problem solving strategies within a real world OR collaborative context.

Breakout EDU: How it Works
In Mrs. Murphy's class, students worked in collaborative teams to solve a series of puzzles that put their problem-solving skills to the test. Rather than unlocking physical locks, students played a Digital Breakout as they entered alphabetic or numeric codes into a Google Form to see if they had solved the puzzles correctly. From Mrs. Murphy:
The day before break calls for some collaboration, communication, and grit! Seventh graders in my English Language Arts classes at CMS participated in an "Escape Room" activity, asking them to unlock five codes. The website took them to five other sites, and the codes were entered into a Google Form. The record time for the day was 17 minutes, 29 seconds. Students were engaged and enthusiastic!
