It’s the last day of school, and you’re so excited to celebrate with your class. The final bell rings, and class starts. As you’re working on your reading assignment, the lights go out. “Oh no, not on our last day!” your teacher exclaims.
Before you can investigate, the lights come back on. You realize that you’re surrounded by something that wasn’t there before. Wait, are those emojis?!
“Chilly Willy,” the one in charge says. “I’m here to challenge your class to compete in our annual winter game.”
He explains that he has set up a series of challenges for each team to complete. He tells you that during this challenge, you will need to collect four winter break items for him. The team that brings him the four items first will be able to escape safely to their winter break. The losing teams? They will be stuck with the emojisall winter break!
Estimated time for this escape: 60-90 minutes.
