For any middle school students interested, every weekday at 3pm there will be a live game hosted by Breakout EDU online that is free to participate in. Each game episode lasts about 5-10 minutes and consists of answering questions by watching a live video. When you figure out an answer, you use it as a combination to unlock a virtual lock. There is a series of 4 questions and 4 locks to open and you want to do it as fast as you can! For 7M students this is similar to the "escape room" challenge we did at school, and this is the same company that provides the kits and locks we used. It is great for anyone who is up for a challenge that gets you to think quickly and critically. Each game is based on a different theme and the questions get progressively more challenging (which is the fun part!). You can also play past game episodes that have aired from earlier this week and last week. I'd encourage everyone to check it out! I will post the themes weekly for each week on my teacher page. 

Here is the website address to access the site where you can play live or past episodes (there is no login required):

Here are the themes for the rest of this week:

Wednesday - Earth Day

Thursday - Geometry

Friday - Mystery Box (surprise theme)    

*There are prizes that can be won, but unfortunately since it is an American company you need to be a US resident to win. But it is still a fun challenge regardless! Remember 3pm is when it starts!
