About The Thanksgiving Virtual Escape Room
My daughter has done it again. She surprised me last spring by creating her first virtual escape room without any real instruction from me. She just figured out how to make one and presented it to me as a fun activity for her sister’s Girl Scout friends to do. (Yep, total mom brag here.) This time, she was on assignment from mom to create a brand new Thanksgiving Virtual Escape Room.
The escape room is geared toward elementary-aged children to complete but is fun for kids of all ages. It can be completed individually or as a team. It is also a great activity for students to do either via distance learning or in the classroom.
My daughter hopes you enjoy her Thanksgiving Virtual Escape Room, and don’t worry she has plans to create a Christmas Virtual Escape Room soon.
Please take a moment to respond to the questions on the last page and be sure to hit submit. The Google Form only captures responses if you click submit on the last page, and my daughter loves watching the counter go up on the number of people who have completed her challenge.
Note, to date more than 3,000 people have completed her Mermaid Escape Room, but we think the number is at least double since responses are not counted unless the last page is submitted.
Thanks for playing!

Hello! The link won’t open for me. I’d love to do with my troop virtually this Thursday. Would you mins sending to my email directly please? I would so appreciate, thank you!!

That’s very odd. I’ve checked it on my end, and there is no reason for it to have not worked. My best guess is that it was a random Internet fluke. Sorry!!
EVE DRISCOLL says
This looks great! Will it still be available the week after Thanksgiving? We’d love to do it with our troop, but likely won’t meet until after Thanksgiving day.
jen says
Yes! We plan to leave it up indefinitely, you never know when someone wants to help a turkey escape 🙂 Have fun!

It won’t let us get past the first puzzle. Keeps saying answer is wrong. How do we edit this
jen says
If it says the answer is wrong, the answer is wrong. Read ALL of the directions. That’s part of the puzzle. 😉
Carrie says
We are having the same problem. Tried numbers 1, 2, and 3. Also “l” and “L” even though it says no capitals because the path looked like an uppercase, cursive L. Not sure how else to read the question…
jen says
I believe from your comment you are misreading the question there is no “l” or “L” in the numbers one, two, three.

Hello!
Saw your post on the Girl Scout virtual ideas FB group!
I cannot open the link for some reason, could you email it to me?
Thank you!
jen says
Google Forms seems to be giving people issues from time to time, and we can’t pinpoint why. Refresh the page and try again, so far that has worked for everyone who has had problems. Sorry for the hassle, I wish I had a better answer.

Love this. Will you be doing a Xmas or holiday one? We can’t wait!
jen says
Hi yes! The Christmas one is now live – https://www.thesuburbanmom.com/2020/11/27/christmas-virtual-escape-room/
Kaitlin says
I know this is old, but any chance you can update the code to be the 2021 date?
jen says
Actually, this is a FANTASTIC idea. I am going to have my daughter update it!
Mya says
Im so sick and tired because I keep putting the correct number in number 1 so you really need to fix that understand?!
jen says
I’m sorry you are having trouble with the escape room. I assure you all of the answers on the backend are correct, so the answer you are giving is incorrect. Try again 🙂
Randie says
None of the numbers work on the path to the door.
jen says
Keep trying. It works 🙂

HI – thank you for this wonderful little break out room. I used it with my 5th graders. Was the perfect activity and they loved it!
