Physical & Chemical Changes Digital Escape Room

Inside the case file

Lock the lesson and hand over a link. Your students step into an interactive escape room where every locked door hides a physical-vs-chemical-change challenge. Solve it, reveal the code, and work your way out before time runs out.

It's a no-prep, self-checking review game that runs in any browser — no apps, no logins, no printing. Just send the link and let them race the clock.

The mission

A lab experiment has gone sideways and the door has sealed shut. Sort each change as physical or chemical, collect the codes, and escape the lab before the reaction finishes.

How the escape room works

• Open the private link — no app or login required.
• Work through a series of animated sort-the-change challenges.
• Each correct answer reveals a code that unlocks the next room.
• Wrong answers won't open the lock, so the room checks itself.
• Crack the final code to escape and win.

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.
• A PDF containing your private access link to share via Google Classroom, email, or any LMS.

Skills covered

• Distinguishing physical changes from chemical changes
• Identifying signs of a chemical reaction (gas, color change, temperature, new substance)
• Classifying everyday examples of each change
