Inside the case file

Lock the lesson and hand over a link. This animated, self-checking digital escape room turns distributive property practice into a high-stakes spy mission your students will actually want to finish.

No printing, no logins, no prep. Just send the private link and let your code-breakers get to work expanding expressions to escape.

Quick details

• Grade levels: 6–8
• Format: interactive, browser-based escape room

The mission

Your agents have infiltrated a Paris museum to recover a hidden artifact. Security systems stand between them and the secret compartment — and the only way through is to expand each expression correctly. One wrong move locks them out for good.

How the escape room works

• Open the private link — no app, no login, no account.
• Solve each animated distributive-property challenge.
• A correct answer reveals the next code; wrong answers won't unlock the door.
• Crack the final code to complete the mission and escape.

What's included

• An interactive escape room hosted on a private site (animated, with randomized answers for replayability).
• No Boom Cards, Google Slides, logins, or subscriptions required.
• A PDF containing the private access link to share via Google Classroom, email, or any LMS.

Skills covered

• Applying the distributive property, a(b + c) = ab + ac
• Expanding expressions with one set of parentheses
• Multiplying a constant by a binomial
• Working with positive and negative terms
