The door shuts and I immediately begin to feel a little claustrophobic. I look around a tiny room with 6 other people as we frantically begin to search for clues that will unlock a box that has a key that will get us into the other room. In the tiny room is a confession closet, a huge ceramic slide puzzle, a bench, and a beautiful stained glass wall. As the others are looking for clues I am drawn to the ceramic slide puzzle. I start trying to solve it so that I can see if this will somehow help crack the code for the combination. I start shifting the pieces around and I quickly begin to realize that the puzzle was not intended to be pieced together as none of the pieces had a match. It was merely a diversion and I fell for it. We had 60 minutes to crack the code and I spent 7 of those with the silly slide puzzle. Gotta love those escape rooms!
Gratitude On this last day of the blogging challenge I woke up feeling grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to participate in this challenge that forces me to find small parts of my day that stick out just enough to write about it. Grateful for waking up on this beautiful island on day two if our spring break vacation. Grateful for all the people I have around me everyday. Grateful for the opportunity I get to sit with the little humans and enhance their already wonderful minds. Grateful for my beautiful little family. And most importantly, grateful for this wonderful life.
As I read, I can't help but make connections to my high school classroom. I wonder how many of my students feel a little claustrophobic at school or find themselves diverted by something that looks cool but doesn't actually get them anywhere? Still, if I continue the metaphor, the truth is that if you work as a team you can actually turn both of those conditions into a really positive, fun outcome - I mean, hey, we pay to do escape rooms! Thanks for a fun slice.
ReplyDeleteSaturday visited Escape room. Was it fun? Yup! Did we get busted? Double yup!
ReplyDeleteYour vivid description brought me back there.
Thank you.
Sounds like a lot of laughter, team work, and a challenge! Good times!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried an Escape Room. I think I'd feel claustrophobic too and throw a big fit!
ReplyDeleteHello!!!

My name is Victoria, i was diagnosed of multiple diseases, herpes virus was among and i was meant to take drugs as prescribed by the medical doctors. One day, i came across a post on the internet that says, there is a solution to almost all your problems that there is a cure for herpes Virus then i tried it and it work perfectly. Contact the Doctor so that you can differentiate between Doctors.
