Can your learners follow the evidence and recover the missing job offer?

This illustrated careers escape room takes learners through five connected missions. Working together, they investigate a workplace, find the matching job advert, check candidates’ skills evidence and identify a training route before choosing the correct envelope and building the final code.

Clues carry forward between pages, encouraging learners to read carefully, explain their decisions and check their evidence.

The 10-page pack includes:

• Eight full-page illustrated learner pages
• Five linked careers missions
• A case record to organise findings
• Generous writing spaces
• Level Up questions
• A job offer reveal and personal reflection activity
• Teacher instructions, hints and complete answers
• Suggestions for supporting different learning needs

Designed for supported KS3 and KS4 learners, including SEND groups. Suitable for careers lessons, tutor time, employability activities and enrichment sessions.

Learners practise identifying workplace tasks, interpreting job adverts, recognising transferable skills and comparing training options.

Allow approximately 40–50 minutes. No internet, devices or real locks are required.

All employers, adverts and route cards are fictional and created for the activity.

Supplied as a Word document. Illustrated learner pages are fixed images; teacher guidance and answers are editable.
