Escape Room Created by Batya Mirsky

Agent, type your first name in the box.

§name§,

We're looking for an international thief! We don't know his name, so we've decided to name him, Steve.

Our latest intel suggests that Steve is in London.

We'll start our search, there.

Good luck, §name§!

Interpol is counting on you!

London, England

Home of the Queen and almost nine million other people. And Steve is hiding among them. We've got our work cut out for us.

§name§,

We were too late. But Steve left us some notes with clues. Help us solve the message.

Type the verbs using the Present Perfect tense (have/has + V3).

Example: I saw a penguin.

I have seen a penguin.

Pay close attention to the sentences. The clue to Steve's next target is hidden in them.

The verbs are very important! Write the last letter of each verb, in order, in the notepad on the left!

Type only [have/has] + V3.

§name§,

We haven't caught Steve in London. Where did he go next?

Sydney, Australia

Also known-as the 'Land Down Under'.

Sydney is beautiful. I think. I'm not really sure.

We were so busy trying to find Steve, we didn't have any time to enjoy the sights.

§name§,

On the next slide you will find a series of tasks. Each task will have a few conditional sentences.

After each task you will get a number. Put the numbers together to make the password.

Pay close attention to the sentences. Steve's next target is hidden in them.

Each set of questions is about a different conditional rule. At the end of each set, you'll get part of the password.

Type the numbers here:

Giza, Egypt

We've missed Steve in England and Australia. The chase has led us here, to Egypt.

Egypt has a very rich culture. It is known mostly for the pyramids in Giza.

§name§,

We've rented a jeep and drove through the desert roads to the pyramids.

Steve has probably gone into the tombs. We should really follow him but, unfortunately, I'm claustrophobic. I don't do well in tight spaces.

You go ahead and go into the dark, narrow, scary, eerie, tombs. I'll just wait for you in the jeep and keep the motor running.

Inside the tombs you will find a series of sentences with relative clauses. Find the correct relative pronoun (i.e. who, whose, which, where, when, that) to go through the tombs.

Good luck, §name§! You will need it!

Oh, and if you stumble over a mummy, don't bother coming out...

You will need this torch to find your way through the tombs. Grab it!

Grab and move the light of the torch around to find the right answer. Click it.

Click the entrance to go inside.

OH NO!!

You can't get out!

After looking around the chamber, you find a hidden door. But it's locked!

Read the inscription and try to figure out the password to open the door.

Those who enter, beware! You may remain with those guarded by Anubis. Take care! Forever will you stay with Egypt, unless you guess the keyword opens the door.

§name§,

You have a few more cobwebs in your hair, but you managed to get out of the tomb.

And we ought to know where Steve is headed next.

Wait! Do you have any idea where Steve is going?

§name§,

Where is Steve headed, next?

§name§,

New York City, The Big Apple! I'm sure we'll catch up to Steve, here.

Of all the art museums in the city, Steve has decided to go to the Empire State Building. It's one of the tallest buildings in New York.

Have I mentioned I'm also afraid of heights?

The next slide is the entrance to the Empire State Building.

There are two ways to get to the top. You can either be active and take the stairs. Or you can be passive and take the elevator.

Between the stairs and the elevator, there are sentences. If the sentence is 'active' - click the dots on the sentence and the stairs to connect them. If the sentence is 'passive' - click the dots on the sentence and the elevator.

The elevator takes you to the top floor.

When you're done, click the check button, to see if you were right.

Central Park isn't located in California.

Steve will eventually be caught by Interpol.

We weren't able to get on the elevator.

Steve got away from us too many times.

Artworks are exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art.

Was the Statue of Liberty built in France?
