The escape should include three parts: 1) Decoding historical ciphers in an 'ancient library' to find the page, 2) Using historical dates and basic Latin to discover a hidden room, and 3) Solving math-based puzzles to unlock a box with the manuscript page in it. Each challenge should blend educational objectives from history, language, and math with engaging puzzle designs.

Thought Partner
Explain 'X' using 'Y'

Ask Chat to explain that topic using a pop culture reference your students are familiar with.
If the language in the explanation feels too advanced for your students, ask Chat to lower the comprehension level and tone.
Student Struggles
Do you need to address a difficult topic with a student but aren’t sure how to begin the conversation, or would like guidance on helpful analogies or talking points?

Consider asking it for kid-friendly pop culture references that will help them understand.
