Christmas Spirit Week 2020: Christmas Escape Room!

Do you have what it takes to save Christmas?!?  Well, these eager sleuths sure did!  If you don’t know, an Escape Room is a game in which a team of players cooperatively discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order to progress and accomplish a specific goal in a limited amount of time.  In this case, our escape room was virtual and Christmas themed.  In the end, these three teams survived and did indeed save Christmas - yay!!!  Victoria, Spirit Committee

Escape Room Team Challenge!

The Joker has trapped you and 6 other team mates in the Student Council Room — you are trapped and time is ticking!  What. Do. You. Do?!? The Highlands Escape Room Team Challenge was a blast!!! This was definitely a special activity because it was Highlands' first ever escape room. It was team vs. team, grade vs. grade level challenge Each team got to send their finest to get locked up...and hopefully, escape in time! To get on the team, each Homeroom tested it’s students with logic puzzle. It was timed in order to find the 7 best students on each team. The story went that the Joker captured your team and has you all as his prisoners... Will you escape in time?!? Each team had a time limit of 10 minutes, but the good news is that they had 3 hints. Teams were struggled to get to the next step of finding the key that would set them free from the Joker's nasty imprisonment. Did your team make it out? A few did, most didn't! We would like to thank Dance Committee for making Highlands first-ever Escape Room possible. Let's look forward to the next one, if you dare?!?  Kaydy, Dance Committee Co-Chairperson
