Included in This Setting Escape Room Challenge Reading Activity:

➡️ Setting Presentation Slides: Use these PowerPoint presentation slides to guide the setting lesson and activity with instructional slides, activity prompts, the narrative story text, story conclusion slides, and answer keys for review.

➡️ Undoing the Spell of the Wizard's Potion Narrative Back Story: Next, students are ready to put what they have learned into action! They will begin the challenge by reading a short backstory that sets up the escape room challenge. You and your friends find yourselves in a dimly lit basement shop after seeking refuge from potential trouble outside. One of your friends impulsively drinks a mysterious green liquid and transforms into a rat, sending panic through the group. Desperate for a solution, you notice a locked notebook labeled "Universal Spell Reversal" and realize it may hold the key to undoing the transformation. With time running out, you pick up scattered sheets of paper and start unraveling the puzzle to find the passphrase before it's too late.

➡️ Setting Escape Room Style Challenge: In this interactive escape-room style setting challenge, students must read an original short story and four texts, answering setting-related questions to reveal a hidden passphrase to undo the spell.
