Escape Room: Puzzles and Ciphers (Grades 5-6) - PM only

Make and break secret codes, solve puzzles and engineer new ones designed to stump your friends and family! Throughout the week, we'll dive into the math, science and creative thinking utilized in designing and solving escape rooms. We'll explore the mathematics of cryptography, learn about different ciphers and use our new skills to decrypt and encrypt secret messages. Light, sound and touch can all play a role in communicating information in hidden ways. In addition to solving escape room puzzles, we'll also work together in teams to design our own unique escape rooms, complete with zany stories, puzzles and props. Together, we'll play, practice and puzzle as we work to become master cryptographers, mystery-makers and escape artists.
