TEAMWORK ACTIVITIES ESCAPE CHALLENGE Academic & Executive Functioning Skills

Are your students finding it difficult to work as a team, share ideas, or collaborate during group tasks? Help them build strong teamwork, communication, and executive functioning skills with our “Teamwork Treasure Hunt” Escape Challenge Mission!

In this exciting digital escape game, students search for hidden treasure by answering teamwork-themed questions. Correct choices earn them keys that bring them closer to the treasure, while incorrect answers lead to an ACCESS DENIED screen—encouraging them to rethink, refocus, and try again. Each level gets more challenging, helping students practise cooperation, problem-solving, flexibility, and shared decision-making in a fun and structured way.

How It Works

• Students read the question in the center of each slide.
• They click on their chosen answer.
• Correct? They earn a treasure key and move to the next clue.
• Incorrect? ACCESS DENIED! Students must adjust, reflect, and try again.
• Each round gets harder, promoting communication, patience, and teamwork.
• Collect all the keys to unlock the final treasure and complete the Teamwork Treasure Hunt!
