Add to cartMake learning about Paris 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 city of Paris. Your students will have fun learning about the various historical monuments and attractions while enjoying a competitive game. The game has two versions - one version in English, with links to English language websites and videos and the other in French, with links to the French sites.
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 Paris digital escape 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.
You may want to check to be sure that your district allows access to google sites before purchasing this item, you can use this link as a test to see that it works:

I was able to click the links to go to the websites but the students could not. :(

This is an issue with your school district blocking the sites - were they able to reach the main game site at all? Or was it the links from the game site to the other sites that were blocked? If they were unable to reach the game site, it's possible that publishing from within your district will fix the problem - if you'd like to troubleshoot it, email me directly at heather@frenchified.com

My students LOVED this game. I can't wait to purchase more escape room style activities for days between units, or when the kids need a break that still gives them something culturally significant to explore about the French language. Really fun!

This was so fun! My students really enjoyed the competition while learning. I have just purchased more of these escape rooms and can't wait to try them out!

These are great for students to attempt while distance learning when you have a strong group. Otherwise they benefit from having the teacher in the room to be successful - with some hints here and there! Thanks!

My students love digital escape rooms! At first, some of them were a bit discouraged when they couldn't find any of the keys, but then they really got into it, and at the end wanted to know the ones they couldn't figure out!

I used this activity as an introduction to our unit on Paris. I used it with sixth graders, and I had to lead my students through the escape game, giving them clues and hints along the way. There is ZERO chance that they could have figured it out on their own.

At first, my students were a little frustrated that I wouldn't give them the answers. As they went along and figured it out for themselves, they loved it! It was perfect for our chapter on Paris Monuments and taught them some good research skills, as well!

Fantastique!

This was pleasantly difficult! Although students were initially frustrated, their feelings of success upon figuring out a clue was worth it. I feel that this really taught persistence. Thank you!
Breanna L.
It took my students a bit of time to really figure out what was going on and how the task worked even given instructions - they needed a bit of coaching and suggesting before much really happened, but once they finally figured out how to go about it, they really loved the activity!

Merci!

Always so much fun :)

The answer you provided in the Instructional document for Marie Antoinette's execution reads October 16, 1763 for the "Date Lock" when it should be Oct 16, 1793.

Sorry about that - I have updated the file before but it does not look like that is the file that TPT is downloading. I will update it again so that it will be correct.

Hello, I bought the escape game about Paris. I think there is a mistake in the part about Marie Antoinette's death. It should be 1793 and not 1763. The students are therefore stuck as they find the date 1793 in the documents and cannot unlock the code. Moreover, the students don't really know what to look for and browse from page to page without really knowing what to read or where to look. Their conclusion is that they didn't learn much from the game (which is the point after all). I must say I was a bit disappointed with the game even if I found the starting point original.

Thank you for letting me know - I've fixed the date and it should work with 1793 now. I'm sorry that they didn't enjoy the game, escape games can be very challenging and require a different way of thinking that not every class will find enjoyable. They will need to read the clues very carefully, but if they get stuck it is perfectly acceptable to give them hints based on the teacher's guide.

My students love these! Merci mille fois!

This will be perfect in our level 2 curriculum. Thank you!
