Buffalo Gap and Stuarts Draft High Schools recently participated in our division's high school gifted education LEAD2 program challenge. This involved unique escape room kits that were designed to promote critical thinking and collaboration among students. The kits required players to use their creativity, team spirit, and powers of deduction to solve puzzles, collect objects, and crack codes in order to earn their freedom bit by bit. These escape room kits were modeled after the popular trend of "Escape Rooms" found around the country, where players work together to solve a series of puzzles using clues, hints, and strategies to literally "escape" from a locked room. As a conclusion to the challenge, the students visited Staunton, VA's Crack the Code Escape Room. The escape rooms were filled with challenging puzzles, thrilling moments, and exciting storylines. The students successfully escaped from 2 of the rooms and had a great time filled with laughter, rushing adrenaline, and fun stories!
