The "please don't mix up the clues" panic?

You're not alone. Here's what we hear from teachers all the time:
"I love the idea, but I don't have time to create all the materials"
"Everything I find on Pinterest looks amazing... and completely impossible to pull off"
"I'm worried it'll turn into chaos and I'll lose control of my class"
"I need this to align with what I'm teaching THIS week, not some random topic"
"My principal will think we're just playing games instead of learning"
"I have kids at totally different levels - one worksheet won't work"
We get it. And we've got you.
Build complete escape room games in three simple steps
Choose your theme, duration (30-60 minutes), and how many puzzles you want (3-6 puzzles per game). One cohesive story connects all the puzzles.
Type in YOUR content for each puzzle - vocabulary words, math problems, review questions. The stuff you're actually teaching this week.
Get your complete game package - differentiated worksheets, setup guides, classroom management tools. Ready to use tomorrow.
Why games instead of single puzzles?
Games create a complete narrative experience. Students progress through 3-6 connected puzzles with a shared theme and story. It's more engaging, takes less time to set up (one theme for everything), and feels like a real escape room adventure.
Use your own curriculum - vocabulary, math problems, review questions. Aligns perfectly with what you're teaching THIS week.
Everything you need: differentiated worksheets, step-by-step setup guides, timing plans, classroom management tools, answer keys. Nothing extra to create.
Automatically generates simplified, standard, AND challenge versions. Works for IEPs, 504s, and gifted students in the same room.
Build multi-puzzle games for full-period experiences, or create standalone puzzles for quick 20-minute activities. You choose based on your schedule.
Standards alignment document and admin justification letter included. Show this is rigorous learning, not just games.
Pre-written parent letter explaining the educational value. No defensive phone calls or confused emails.
Input content, design your game, generate materials. Done. Perfect for last-minute planning or sub plans.
Rubrics, reflection sheets, and student self-assessment. Show learning happened, not just fun.
Complete packages. Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
This would take you 3-5 hours to create on your own.

Your time is worth way more than $8. Stop spending hours on Pinterest.
Your time is worth more than $8.
A game is a complete escape room experience with 3-6 connected puzzles that share a theme and story (perfect for 30-60 minute class periods). A puzzle is a standalone 20-minute activity. You can create either one based on your needs!
Grades 1-12. The differentiation system automatically adjusts difficulty, font sizes, and scaffolding based on your grade level selection. Works for elementary through high school.
Yes! Math, science, social studies, ELA, foreign languages, and more. You input your own content, so it works for whatever you're teaching.
Absolutely. All materials are designed to look great in black and white or color.
Not required! The puzzles work as standalone activities. But if you want the full escape room experience, we offer optional lockable bags and combination locks in our shop.
Most escape room resources give you pre-made puzzles about random topics - you're stuck using their content whether it matches your curriculum or not. And they rarely include the actual implementation guides you need to run it successfully. Think Outside the Bag uses YOUR content (your vocabulary words, your math problems, your review questions) and gives you the complete system: setup guides, differentiation, classroom management tools, admin justification, and parent communication. It's not just puzzles - it's everything you need to actually DO this.
YES! The complete setup guide makes it perfect for substitute teachers. Everything is explained step-by-step, so anyone can run it successfully.
