Ancient Greece Escape Room

In Ancient Greece: Time Travel Escape Room students are in the process of time traveling back in time to study ancient Greece when their time machine malfunctions! The only way for students to repair the time machine and return to the present is for students to successfully complete six challenges. Whether teaching in-person or virtually, this classroom escape room is easy to set up and students will have lots of fun reviewing what they have learned!
