Description
During the Civil War John Mosby stole Union treasure during a raid. He hid the treasure – and no one knows where it is now. In this digital breakout, see if you can solve the clues and discover what happened to the treasure.
You will need to work together (fun to play in co-op classes or as a family) and think outside the box as you learn more about Mosby, his men, and the Civil War.
This is a great activity for students to learn about the Civil War in a fun way – and also learn to problem-solve.
Hints are provided – for those who need them!
This digital breakout does contain some offline activities – so you will need to print a few pages before you start. The rest of the puzzles are all online and you will “unlock” digital locks.
Digital breakouts are similar to Escape Rooms but all you need is a computer to experience the fun.
Suggested for grades 5 – 12.

This was a good rainy day activity for two ten-year-olds and an 8-year-old. They were new to digital breakouts, so (with directed questioning–“What might this go with?” “Have you tried it every direction?” “Are there any links that maybe you missed?” etc.) they solved about half the locks one afternoon and then with the appropriate hints (provided in the purchased PDF) were able to solve the others the next afternoon. Setup was quick and easy. This was a good value!
