Escape Room Christopher Edge

Ami enters an escape-room challenge expecting puzzles, clues and a chance to prove herself, but the game soon becomes far stranger than anyone anticipated. Working with the other players draws her through extraordinary settings and increasingly urgent decisions. Christopher Edge's inventive adventure uses the excitement of an interactive challenge to explore cooperation, thinking carefully and what really matters when a problem is much bigger than a simple locked door.

Age suitability and learning: Primary (6-8), Older children (9-12). The longer narrative suits children ready to sustain attention across a developing story, whether reading independently or sharing it aloud. Following characters and events supports comprehension, vocabulary and reading stamina; discussing motives, settings and choices encourages inference, empathy and imaginative thinking.
