A-Level STEM Escape: The AEGIS Mission

An immersive, ready-to-run A-Level chemistry escape room. 100-minute mission (perfect for a double lesson), zero marking, rich evidence trail, and built-in differentiation.

AEGIS is a narrative-driven, classroom escape room where students act as analysts inside a (fictional) lab. They race to unlock a secure system by interpreting data, cross-checking documents, and solving chemistry-anchored puzzles under time pressure. It’s perfect for end-of-term event, club, induction, or enrichment.

I spent about 22 hours creating this, and will continuously maintain it. Hence the higher price. Please leave me a review if you enjoyed it!

What’s included

• Self-contained game hub (HTML) with a 40-minute global countdown
• Printable artefacts: AEGIS emails dossier, lab testing log, ID badges, company logo & assets
• Answer key
• Data sheet and extra clues to give to struggling groups - you decide how much to give over

Set-up & tech

• Game of two halves - you can finish with just the offline content (takes about 40 minutes, 1 single lesson) or continue the full escape room with a device like a laptop or computer.
• Works offline in any modern browser (Chrome/Edge/Safari).
• Class time: 40 - 100 minutes of play + 10 minutes intro/debrief.
• Prep: ~10–15 minutes (print, cut ID badges if you wish, open the hub).*

Groupings
Best with teams of 3–5; run multiple teams in one room.

Licensing
Single-teacher licence for use with your classes; not for redistribution or uploading elsewhere.

Who it’s for

• Age 16–18 (A-Level Chemistry; suitable for advanced GCSE enrichment with more support for calculations).
• Run within your science department as a social team building event (this was actually originally created for play within my department for a social event!)
• Ideal for end-of-term events, enrichment, or STEM days.

FAQs

1. Do I need laptops for students? Yes, or computers. Mobile phone screens won’t be large enough to run the site.
2. Can I edit? The files provided are not editable, but obviously you can make changes to the physical files if you wish - the html game is not editable.
3. How long is the game? 40-100 minutes playtime depending on whether you complete both halves.
4. Does it require prior topic knowledge? Yes, some - although with careful guiding (or use of the data sheet provided) students could complete this. However it is designed to be solvable with general A-Level chem/phy/bio knowledge and careful reading.
