 DIGITAL BREAKOUT ACTIVITY
WHAT IS A DIGITAL BREAKOUT?
Groups of people search for clues in the form of hidden hyperlinks
in images and text on the game site. These clues may lead to
puzzles that when solved, reveal the combinations to assorted
digital locks on the game page. However, there are “red herrings”
included in each game that will lead players on a wild goose chase
if followed.

You will have 25 minutes to use clues found to solve the digital
puzzles and find the combinations to all the locks.
A FEW HINTS ABOUT DIGITAL BREAKOUT
▪ Everything is on the
page
▪ There are lots of clues -
so look everywhere
▪ You can divide and
conquer
▪ Locks are case
sensitive
DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO A
DIGITAL BREAKOUT
● Work collaboratively as a
whole group (putting the
Breakout on the big screen)
● Split into small groups and
work collaboratively with a
smaller group
