⭐ This 6th to 8th grade reading comprehension escape room is a truly immersive experience. Students read short fiction and nonfiction passages and answer skill-based questions as they work their way through a “whodunit” mystery to crack the case. Students must discover four clues to solve this mystery: the manifest, the passport, the menu, and the parcel. In this escape room, students complete four uniqu challenges. Each challenge requires students to read the fiction and nonfiction passages and then answer the questions to discover clues.

⭐ This Whodunit reading comprehension review escape room comes in digital and print formats.

• Webscape™ Interactive Digital Format – This web-based format provides the most interactive and immersive experience possible. It is self directed, self correcting, and contains audio. You can check out my video overview here. You won’t believe how engaging this format is until you try it!

• Printable Format – Students can use any device to scan QR codes to watch the videos. If no device is available, students can skip the videos and still enjoy the exercise. Students use a printable Decoder and answer sheet to decipher the clues and track their answers.

⭐ Integrated videos, thematic items, and a fun back story come together to engage students while developing and reviewing reading comprehension skills.

*Please note: The printable version includes QR codes for videos hosted on YouTube. If you plan on using the printable format, please ensure you and your students have access to YouTube. The videos are embedded in the Webscape version, so it does not require access to YouTube.
