Thank you for this clear and detailed video. I used it to create a virtual escape room for a holiday party. It was a tremendous success! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity!
I've been making real escape rooms in my middle school library for years based on my teachers' curricula. What to do during Covid? You Nailed It! Many Mahalos from Maui
I've looked through so many instructions and this one is the easiest I've found by far. And I need it easy because I want my students to create escape rooms for each other. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for going through this! You're so brilliant! We've been looking for a free version of an escape room for our Youth Activity in the church but we have found none, so this is very helpful for us. Thank you again! :)
Thank you SO MUCH! I watched, paused, replayed, pulled in my principal to help, watched again. And I think I am ready for my first trial run with this today.
I'm so glad! (If you still have questions or challenges, let me know - I'll be rolling out an online digital escape room workshop that goes into far more depth than this video SOON!)
This was one of the most informative videos I have seen. I really have learned so much from you!!!!! Learning to change the link from edit to preview has probably just changed my life!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge about this. I can't wait to start creating some escape rooms!
I'm so glad! A recent tip I've learned is if you add "?rm=minimal" (no quotes) after the word preview in the link, it also removes the black navigation bar at the bottom of the screen as well!
Thank you so much! This video was INCREDIBLY helpful! I wasn't sure where to start with making one of my own, and you made it so much less confusing. Love it!
THANK YOU!!! This is a fantastic way to combine all of the tech skills and tools we use everyday!!! I can't wait to use this in my classroom! THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you for sharing. I think this will be fun. I am a high school Driver Ed teacher and i am excited to create an escape room for them. I'll check back after I have had a chance to create and try this with my students.
You made this so easy to understand and follow! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm going to begin creating an escape room for our Hamlet unit. My students will love this!
Thank you so much for this video, it was really helpful. I'm currently doing a senior project in college and we're making virtual escape rooms so I needed this hardcore.
I believe it! I keep making new bitmoji classrooms! And I've made a real world escape room and it took a long time. This will too but it will be fun!!! 🤩
This was a great thing to learn how to do! i saw this being used by a podcast ((And That's Why We Drink)) and did one for my friend's birthday present as well! thanks for suck an indepth video!
Go for it! Anyone can make and share a digital escape room, and you'll have cool things to add to your portfolio when you do apply for teaching jobs. Have fun!!
Amanda you are great! This very simple application has a potential to solve many of the online educational problems we face on a daily basis. Thank you!
Sort of! I would recommend doing this within your Google Form - perhaps as a final section to the form that can only be accessed once the "lock" is open correctly.
This is amazing, it’s super clear and I can already make something simple from just one viewing. Thank you. My quick question is: “Is there a way to incorporate the form into the ‘room’ itself. For example, students have to key in the answer code on the blackboard on the wall? Or clicking the lock on the door will open a slide with the lock zoomed in, and then they have to key in the answer on the lock itself?”
I love this tutorial and the concept of the escape room! Thank you so much for the clear instructions. I am having trouble with the timer. When I click on a link and go to an external resource, the timer stops and restarts when I return to the main slide. How can I ensure the timer continues to run as my students work on their clues?
Thanks a lot! It's very motivating and encouraging. But still, I need more instructions and a bit slower pace to acquire the skills. I will try my best to implement all this.
LOL, I definitely talk fast and this was a fast overview for sure. I have a few links in the description to more specific tutorials that might be helpful, but let me know if there are any specific skills you'd like to see in more detail.
Thank you so much for sharing how to create an escape room. Should we create two forms, one for the code to escape and one for where the actual answers for the clues go? I ask because I saw a lock on the door with a link, and then I saw the banner which says click HERE.
Back again having made my room!! Yay!! I tried setting it on google classroom but the timer doesn't reset for each attempt - do you know how to make sure it restarts every time the link is clicked? Thank you again!
this seems to be a bit related to browser settings - however, when you add the RUclips video to the Google Slides, there is a setting where you can choose to have it auto-play when the slide show is launched, so I would try that first.
This is amazing! Thank you for the clear explanations. One thing I am struggling with...I want to have them solve multiple other clues in the room that don't necessarily connect with the answer to escape. Is there a way to ensure they have solved all the other clues in the room before they are able to click the lock and escape?
LOL, that's a great question! If your teacher has built the escape room the way I do, there's no way to tell if you exceed the timer (but if they have it shared inside something like Canvas or Google Classroom, they could tell through that). For tracking the time, in the rooms I build, the timer video should stay running the whole time, and you can just go back to the main tab to see how much time you have left. Good luck!
I have used your tutorial before, but forgot how to share it with my students. I followed along again, but when I post it in the google classroom the link goes back to "edit" instead of "preview". Any suggestions. Thanks again for a great tutorial.
I loved our video - the directions are wonderful and I can't wait to try it! One question - I noticed that your students have to enter the 4 letter word to unlock the door. Is this your only question on your Google Form? From the various clues they solved, how did they know what the four-letter word was? I thought this would be a great Back To School activity and wanted to use the word, "Welcome." Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi, Marie! In this particular escape room there is only 4-letter word to unlock the door, and the various clues all pointed to the same word. You could use any word you want - maybe in the case of "Welcome" you could have one clue be a sort of "hangman" or "wheel of fortune" board or a perhaps put the message in code. (Just make sure to tell them to put the answer in all caps if that's your clue because the "response validation" feature is case-sensitive.)
@@TechieSpaghetti So sorry, I figured it out late last night. I meant to get back to you to tell you to forget about my question. Tomorrow I give it a go. I am so excited
Hi there! Appreciate your video! I am, however, super confused about how to keep the timer from resetting. Mine resets every time they click out of the link and have to go back to the original room. Can you help?
Thank you for your wonderful video! I have a question: when you give the students the link to start the escape room, they can move from one slide to another using the arrows at the bottom of the presentation. How can this be avoided? Thanks in advance.
This is a great question, and I have other videos that go into more detailed explanation. The short answer is that I generally recommend using only a 1-slide Slideshow and housing all your clues or information in Google Sites to avoid the problem entirely. But there are also a lot of "hacks" I do within the escape rooms I sell, on Teachers Pay Teachers for example, that mitigate this issue. This video explains some of these hacks: ruclips.net/video/q_gfVADQusY/видео.html. Good luck!
You set this up in the way that you get the "share" links for the Forms and Docs. For forms, you want to go via the "Send" button (and make sure it's a link, not an invite), and for Docs, you want to make sure to share as a link with "anyone with the link can VIEW" settings. Hope this helps!
by the way, who downvotes this? Mean people I think. Keep making your videos. You are very good at explaining what we needed to know.
Aw, you are too kind! (And I've seen my toddler up or downvote too many videos accidentally to put much stock in those numbers lol!)
True, But it's a dislike button, this is youtube. Not reddit.
Thank you for this clear and detailed video. I used it to create a virtual escape room for a holiday party. It was a tremendous success! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity!
Can you share your template for a holiday escape room?

Very good! Thank you for the ideas! I will definitely try them with my students.
Have fun!
this was so helpful thank you so much
😍It is amazing. Can we add a final dialogue box popping up which will show the result once the student gets through all the clues coorctly??
Sort of! I would recommend doing this within your Google Form - perhaps as a final section to the form that can only be accessed once the "lock" is open correctly.
@@TechieSpaghetti Got it ☺️ thanks again

Just a google image search for "room," honestly.

@@marielichte6454 I am sure they will love it!
Thank you. Almost a success. The links to all the google docs that are clues need permission to view. I’m not sure how to change that
You'll have to edit the permission settings on all your individual Google Docs so that "anyone with the link can view" - hope this helps!
