This Escape Room covers the events of Holy Week, including Jesus' trial and Barabbas' release. For Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, download the Easter Escape Room. This includes both In-Person and Online Versions of the Escape Room and is designed to be used by schools or youth groups. Teams should take about 40 minutes to finish the ten challenges, depending how much help they are given.
The Escape Room was written with 11- to 18-year-old youth and students in mind, but can be used with older children or adults. You will receive full instructions and downloadable resources. Everything else you need for in person use, you will be able to source easily e.g. coins. The in-person puzzles are designed to be done with very little preparation (except printing). Do have a good look at it before the day you're planning to do it, to make sure you have everything you need. I'd love your feedback, and if you want to submit your time, we could add you to the leaderboard!
You can download for free two of the challenges for this Escape Room on the Holy Week Escape Room page so you can see how it works. If you can't afford £5 for the escape room, do ask. Please note that the in-person puzzles are the same ones as the online ones that have been online on this website since Easter 2021, just rewritten to be played in person.
File includes full instructions, clues and publicity artwork for youth groups.
