ELA digital escape room practice just got exciting! This mystery-themed activity reviews sentence order, theme, figurative language, text structure, genre, vocabulary in context, and sequencing—all in one game. Designed for 5th grade and perfect for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students, it turns reading comprehension review into an interactive school investigation.
Students become detectives after discovering strange clues in a classroom, the principal’s office, and other school locations. To move through the story, they’ll read short passages, answer multiple-choice questions, and reorder story events using logic and context. Each correct answer unlocks another part of the mystery, sharpening comprehension, inference, and sequencing skills.
