Using Google forms, Cindy Shutts engages students to explore worlds based on the novels they are reading. (See below for a brief description, click the link above to visit the article on SLJ). This would be a great final project for an English class, or a way to consolidate learning for Socials or even Science. I can also see doing this in other languages to show proficiency with vocab and grammar. Students would have fun sharing and playing each other's "room".


"At my library we have found one of the easiest ways to attract people to  programs is by creating a virtual escape room. They can be used any time of day and are fun to make. I like doing them with different fandoms. I have created two that are published so far one about Animal Crossing and one about Camp Half-Blood (Percy Jackson). My co-worker Faith Healy created two as well. She created an original haunted house one that has been used almost 200 times. She also just released a Mandorlian one in honor of the new season."
