This week, we ran an escape room based on the wildly popular series of dragon books, Wings of Fire by Tui Sutherland. The escape room, designed by Erica Testani, a youth services librarian in Virginia, involved students digging in the mud in the Mud Kingdom, melting ice in the Ice Kingdom, and piecing a puzzle with an invisible message on it in the Rainforest Kingdom. All in all, they had to figure out how to open two number locks, two word locks, a key lock and a directional lock. It took some doing, but they finally escaped!
Thanks also go to Kent Renno for making up a lovely tub of mud for us. :-)
