We did the Escape Room at our After School Program. Five students. Ages 8-11. It took us around two hours, but they loved it! Wish there is more stuff like this available!
I wanted something fun, engaging and informative for my kids to do on Presidents' Day, the Presidents Escape Room was just what I was looking for! I have a 6th and a 7th grader and it can be hard to find things for their ages! It took me no time to print everything off and hide the clues and my kids finished in exactly an hour! This was very fun! We will definitely be repeat customers of Learn in Color...very well done!
This was so well done and my teenager LOVED it. It's so difficult to find hands-on learning activities for older kids. These escape room activities were exactly what he needed.
My daughter has been in love with all things presidents since she was five. I bought this escape room for her to do with her middle/high school friends. What a fun party! It actually took them an hour and a half, but there were some patriotic snacks involved. Thanks for the great resource!
Thank you SO much! I'm so happy to hear they loved it! <3
Was tons of family fun!
