A digital escape room for class is a set of virtual locks: you write the clue, you set the answer, and you hide the next task behind it. Students open one short link or scan one QR code in the browser they already have. There is no student login, no student account, and nothing to install. Only the teacher has an account, and a free one is enough to publish.
A dozen dozen. Three digits.
Wrong answer, try again.
Every card is a real lock, styled the way a teacher can style it. Pick one to play it in the demo. In this order they make one chained story, each reveal sending the class to the next subject.
Themes, filmed unlock animations and celebrations come with the Event Pass or Pro. Every lock format and every reveal, the sudoku, the Wordle and the HTML endings included, is free.
Students do not create an account and are not asked to sign in. They open the link, type an answer, and see what you hid. The answer is checked on the server, so it is not sitting in the page for someone to read. A class can play at the same time: every phone is its own session, and players and attempts are unlimited on the free plan.
The free plan includes 3 basic locks for personal and educational use, each a single lock or a chain of up to 3 steps. A basic lock never expires: the link you shared in September still opens in June. You can build and test the lock before you create an account. The free account is what publishing asks for.
Every published lock comes with a short link and a QR code you can download. Project one code for the whole class, print one per station, or drop the link into the homework. Change the clue or the answer later and the same printed code still works: it points at the lock, so you do not reprint the room when the puzzle changes.
The lock can open as a filmed object: a locker, a treasure chest, a safe, and 45 objects in all. It fidgets while the class is still working and opens on video, with sound, when the answer is right, and the reveal appears inside the opened object. Filmed unlock animations come with the Event Pass or Pro. A free lock opens plainly, which is enough for a homework reveal.
Hide tomorrow's answer key, the next worksheet, or the reading link behind a code that is in today's homework. Students who did the work open the lock at home, on a phone, with no login.
Play this lock: Kevin failed 4 times. Can you open the answer key? →One lock per station, one QR code on the table. A group scans, solves, and moves to the next table. Each browser plays its own session, so a group that finishes early does not see another group's screen.
Hide a QR code at each stop in the room, the library, or the playground. Solving one lock reveals the clue for the next stop. A chain of up to 3 steps publishes on the free plan. Longer trails use the Event Pass or Pro.
A multi-step escape room is a chain of locks. Each right answer opens the next step, and the last one opens the finale. Nobody can skip ahead: step two stays shut until step one is solved, so a group always works on the same question. This is the ready-made three-subject template, exactly as a class plays it.
The cupboard holds a dozen boxes of a dozen eggs 🥚 each.
🍳 The canteen takes one full box for a giant omelette.
How many eggs are left? 🔢 Three digits.
✓ Right answer: the class sees
Cupboard open.
The science cupboard opens.
Inside: a plant under a lamp, and a label whose word has been torn off.
This plant 🌱 makes its own food from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide, and gives out oxygen.
🤔 What is this process called? ✏️ One word.
✓ Right answer: the class sees
Front page.
Behind the pot, an old newspaper headline:
"ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN"
The date has been torn off.
The newspaper 📰 tells the story of Apollo 11 🚀 and the first human steps on the Moon.
They happened in the last year of the 1960s.
Which year? 🔢 Four digits.
✓ Right answer: the finale opens, below
The last reveal, written in HTML blocks: a headline, a ticket and a stamp, in the lock's own colours.
Three subjects, one class
The classroom door swings open. Every lock gave way, and you made it out together.
Well done
Write your time on the board. The next group has a record to beat.
Door open
On the free plan you can publish 3 locks, single or multi-step, of up to 3 steps each, and they never expire. The Event Pass ($7.90 for 15 days or $9.90 for 30 days, paid once) raises that to 10 locks of 10 steps and Pro removes the limit. Each step keeps its own question, lock, hint, error message and reveal.
Play the three steps →Designed down to the last detail
Nothing on the screen is fixed. Pick a theme, choose a filmed object that fidgets while the lock holds and opens on video, with sound, when the code is right, then a celebration for the moment it opens. Set the typeface and size, and end on your own reveal. Your players see exactly the screen you designed.
Everything you can design on a lock →51 themes, and more in the builder. Each one paints the lock, its keys and its button.
45 filmed objects that fidget while the lock holds and open on video, with sound, when the lock gives way.
37 typefaces and 6 text sizes, from a phone in hand to a screen across the room.
Or your own two pictures
Upload a closed and an open picture: the parcel as wrapped, then what was inside. Included with the Event Pass and Pro.
Every theme, every filmed animation, your own pictures, the celebrations, typefaces and text sizes come with the Event Pass or Pro. A basic lock keeps the default theme.
Playable examples you can copy in one click. Try one first, then make it yours.
