Rebecca Moore writes: “I’ve been running escape rooms twice a year for a while and always try to create or borrow one that has some connection to middle school literature. This time, I decided to go with Stuart Gibbs’s FunJungle series of humorous mysteries involving a zoo/wildlife park in Texas. When I’m designing escape rooms, I generally go with a single-path design, in which students can’t open boxes out of order because the clues in one box lead to another. I look at the locks I have and figure out which ones will work best and design puzzles around them.”
