Grade 10 Chemistry · Lesson 12 · Escape room

Periodic Vault

Your team is locked in the chemistry lab. Six doors stand between you and the exit, and each lock opens only with an element's position in the periodic table. Read the electron configuration, find the period, block and group, and break out before the other teams.

Every start shuffles the room order for each team and draws new questions. No question appears twice in a game.

The six rooms

  • +10 for every lock you open, plus a speed bonus: +5 under 20 s, +3 under 40 s, +1 under 60 s.
  • −3 for a wrong answer. You see the correct answer, then a new question for the same door.
  • −2 to open the hint card for a room.
  • Escape bonus: +15 first team out, +10 second, +5 third, +2 fourth.
