España Spain Digital Escape Room in English AND Spanish activities culture
(18 ratings)$5.00
Add to cartMake learning about Spain interesting with this no-prep digital escape game. The game includes access to a website where your students will hunt for the keys to unlock a set of locks. Students will need to read the clues very carefully and watch videos, visit websites, and read texts to find the information they need to win the game. Very easy to use - just send your students to the website and let them work! Students can play individually or in teams.
This game is about the country of Spain and some interesting historical and tourist sites. Students will learn about the Barcelona, Pamplona, Valencia, Granada and Segovia. There are two versions of the game - one in English (for general culture and lower level Spanish classes) and one in Spanish (clues and resources are in Spanish - challenging, meant for upper levels and heritage speakers).
Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit. They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event. This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.
This item includes:
Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning! The challenging game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock - and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention - there's no way to solve the puzzles without being 100% focused!
Topics in this game include:
Prep is very easy - you just need to share the website URL with your students. You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district. As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones. With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key - so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock - just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.

My students were engaged and loved completing against the other groups to be the first to get the gift unlocked. Nothing to do with the quality of the product, but a down side is that both of the videos were blocked for my students by my district.

This was a bit advanced, so I took some time and created more hints and such. We also were not able to find the number of restaurants in the aquarium or how many giant tortoises there were. Unfortunately, my school also had this site blocked and would not unblock it for me, due to some content not being accessible and purchases available, so my students were unable to do the escape room.

Which links are not working for you? I check them on a regular basis, but sometimes the website re-organizes them. It can also be an issue of a school blocking sites. Update: I just checked and the links are all working, so perhaps it is an issue of them being blocked on the network?

Looking forward to using this! Edit after use - My students really struggled with this due to the lack of directions. They became frustrated and thus lost interest. They said that they have enjoyed digital escape games in other classes, but there was more guidance. I'm all for a challenge, but I also found the lack of directions frustrating. They had no idea what link led to which code, etc. - a good concept, but needs tweaking.

This was great for my 3rd year students learning about Spain. It is tough, but it can be done!

This resource is thorough and great!! However, be careful that you are allowed to use it because I tried using it in my school and the website is blocked because it is a gaming site, so I am not able to use this with my students.

Love this! Can't wait to use it in class!

So much fun for the students while they learn something new!

I used this with my students after talking about some of the basics of Spain on a day that I needed to be out of the building but needed them engaged and learning. They overall were successful, but it did take some hints from me to help them along the way!

I bought this digital breakout and unfortunately I can not get it to work correctly. I have tried it on three different browsers and still nothing. I am hoping that others will be able to assist me.

What exactly is it doing/not doing for you? I can help troubleshoot if you let me know what is happening.
