Escape the classroom: basic puzzles

In a typical escape room, participants are locked in a room and must solve puzzles as a team to escape. While this is not practical in schools, in your classroom you can challenge students as a group to solve various chemistry-based puzzles to open a locked box containing a reward, allowing them to develop problem-solving, knowledge and practical skills in a novel way. This article suggests some examples to try, and will hopefully inspire you to develop your own puzzles with your students.
