Mr. Horner’s honors ELA class escaped the stress spiral in Mrs. Dompa’s stress escape room lesson. What is a Stress Spiral Escape Room -
Spiral → The puzzles or challenges are arranged in a spiral or step-by-step sequence, where each task builds on the last one. Students “spiral” through levels of difficulty or different types of challenges.
Stress → The theme focuses on understanding stress—what it is, how it feels, and how to cope with it. Puzzles often include content related to stress management, mindfulness, or healthy coping strategies.
Escape Room → Students work together in small groups to “unlock” codes, solve riddles, or complete tasks. Instead of escaping a physical room, they usually escape a scenario (like a stressful situation) by completing all the challenges.
