Breakout EDU brought gaming to our classroom. Our Breakout presented us with a challenge that encouraged teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking, and troubleshooting. Let’s continue using these skills when solving mysteries, logic puzzles and/or riddles!

More Mysteries..

• Cafeteria Caper
• The Mystery at the Third Strike Sports Store
• Bell Clapper Caper
• The Pilfered Pizza
• What am I?

You did it! You solved problems through playful exploration and trial and error.  With TEAMWORK you were able to breakout.  Today a door is firmly locked. You will need your problem solving skills to escape once, twice…forty times! Can you escape the mysterious room? And do it again and again and again? Play 40x Escape.

“Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they’re alive and human.” ~ Albert Ellis

• Acceptance is the willingness to embrace feelings, habits, or beliefs that are different from your own.
• Acceptance is the ability to experience or survive something unpleasant.
• Acceptance is the willingness to tolerate a difficult or unpleasant situation.
• We all have the human need and right to be accepted.
