Friendsgiving Countdown Digital Escape Room

The turkey's in the oven, but every other dish is locked in the cafeteria pantry. Each lock hides a science puzzle: atomic mass, metric conversions, symbiosis, weather and climate. Teams solve all eight before the oven timer runs out, or the turkey burns.

The Friendsgiving Table in Friendsgiving Countdown, with eight empty plates and eight locked recipe cards

The Friendsgiving Table. Teams pick any recipe card they like, and every puzzle they solve puts a dish on the table.

1

Set the oven timer

You pick 30, 40, 50 or 60 minutes, or no clock at all. Team names show on screen.

2

Teams work the recipe cards

Any order they want. Each puzzle is a different kind of science thinking, so nobody carries the whole thing.

3

Bring out the turkey

Eight dishes on the table and Friendsgiving is saved. Hints cost two minutes, which they feel.
