Add to cartDescription
Make learning about Mardi Gras interesting with this no-prep Mardi Gras 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. UPDATED FOR 2026 - new version has been updated.
Mardi Gras is here! Your friend has sent you some beads, but you can't open the box they're in without figuring out the codes to the locks. Learn about Mardi Gras and open the box to get your prize in this Mardi Gras digital escape game. This is a challenging activity that students will need to work together and think critically in order to complete. All readings are in English
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:
- Access to a website where your students can play the game
- Complete teacher's guide to playing the game
- Answer key so you can help students if they get stuck!
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:
- Krewes
- Throws
- The Cajuns
- King's Cake
- Calculating the Date of Mardi Gras (note that the game is updated each year, so be sure to download the updated teacher guide so you'll have the correct answer key!)
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.

I tested the Breakout room the weekend before using it in class, and I corresponded with the author of this resource with some questions. She was responsive to my emails. However, I still had a number of technical problems with the sites on the day that I used this in class. Plus, the escape room was much too difficult for my 7th and 8th grade students. They had never done one before and were confused, and it was hard to manage. This is probably best for high school students. Honestly though, if I didn't have the answer key, I'm not sure I would have ever figured it out either. There are many positive reviews here though, so perhaps this is just me!

This was a fun escape room for students! It was rather difficult for my 8th graders, so I had to give them multiple hints. I learned a lot and so did they!

This was the first digital escape game my students had ever completed and THEY LOVED IT! Most found it very challenging and were so proud when they unlocked it at the end. I am totally sold on this as an activity and will now go and get all of your other games! Thank you for sharing your creativity with everyone!

My students were engaged but it was SO HARD! Even I had trouble finding some of the clues. Also there is a broken link. Good idea and could be fixed, but I would not recommend this purchase.
Reply from Frenchified
Which link is broken? They were working as of a couple of days ago when I last checked them, but sometimes the links or content does get moved and I can easily change the link to something that does work. If you ever run into trouble while playing the game, a quick email to me and I can usually fix the issue (unless, of course, it is an issue with district blocking on your end).

- Nobody ever notices the French teacher to give them awards for anything! My students, my family and my mom like me - is that enough? Oh, and my beer league hockey team won the championship several years ago.
