Scrapes and Rescues
An escape room on Chapters 17–24 of Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery
A child with croup in the night, a jump onto an occupied bed, a cake with a strange flavour, and a dare on a rooftop. Seven locks test what you know of Chapters 17–24 of Anne of Green Gables.
Students solve seven self-checking locks and earn a word from each. At the last lock they put two of those words together to answer the final clue.

For teachers
Each room covers one section, and every answer comes from it, so it checks reading as well as recall. The seven locks:
- Crossword — ten names, places and key words from the section.
- Scrambled names — unscramble seven names or words, with a clue for each.
- Secret message — decode a shift-three cipher and answer the riddle it asks.
- Who's who — match eight characters to what they do.
- Make the pairs — complete four pairs from a set of cards.
- Odd one out — six rows on characters, places and events: find the one that does not belong.
- The last lock — choose two of the words earned in locks 1–6 to answer the final clue.
Most students take 30 to 45 minutes. They can work alone or in pairs on any device with a browser, or you can project the room and solve it together. Every answer checks itself, and progress is saved in the browser, so a room can be split across two lessons.
