A storm has locked the doors of a mountain weather station. Students calculate temperatures with warmer and colder, read a weather map, choose clothes for the weather, analyse a weather diary with was and were, and guess a weather riddle.
The Weather Station is a free online English escape room for learners at level A2. You are visiting a weather station on a mountain. A storm closed all the doors! The first door asks about temperatures. To get out, your team has to go through five rooms. In every room there is a note with a puzzle in English – read it carefully, find the code and open the number lock, letter lock.
Most teams escape in about 10–18 minutes, so the game fits easily into one lesson. There are 3 versions (A, B and C) with different codes, so teams sitting next to each other can’t simply copy the answers. No registration and no app are needed – it works on computers, tablets, phones and interactive whiteboards.
