Digital escape room maker
Tell Sparky the topic and grade, and get a digital escape room your class can play: a locked door for each problem, hints when students get stuck, and a final code to escape.
Used by 250,000+ teachers, and built to FERPA, COPPA and GDPR standards.
How the digital escape room maker works
Name the topic and grade
Type one line, such as "a digital escape room for my 6th grade fraction operations review". Paste your own questions if you want them behind the locks.
Get a room your class can play
Sparky writes a problem for each door and builds the escape room beside the chat. Students type an answer, and the right one opens the lock.
Ask for a timer or a code
Ask for a countdown, a final code lock or harder problems, and Sparky changes the same escape room. Project it, or share it with your class.
Escape room puzzles Sparky can build
Number locks
Students type a number or a fraction to open the door. Fraction locks take equal answers, so 6/8 opens a lock whose answer is 3/4.
Word locks
The answer is a word, such as a vocabulary term or the name of a cell part. Capital letters don't matter.
Direction locks
Students press the arrows in the right order, such as up, left, down, right for the steps of a process.
A final code lock
Each room gives students one digit. They enter the digits in order at the last door to escape.
A countdown timer
Ask for 20 minutes and the clock counts down at the top of the room. If time runs out, students see a Time's Up screen and can try again.
Hints for stuck students
A wrong answer gets a nudge to try again. Ask for hints and Sparky adds a Show Hint button that walks through the steps.

What teachers say about Flint
"Using Flint for review for the end-of-unit test was optional, but all but two students chose to use it. Their performance on the test was noticeably higher than in previous years, so what I did with Flint definitely had an impact."
Lara Cross
Physics and Astronomy Teacher at The Kinkaid School
"Students were very engaged! I have never seen a room of 38 seventh graders completely silent, but this did the trick. Flint helped them realize AI isn’t just about plagiarism, but can be a tool to help them understand the world around them."
Lindsay Downs
Librarian and Information Literacy Teacher at Sewickley Academy
"My students are able to engage in interactive lessons that challenge them without overwhelming them. AI has made it easier for them to understand concepts by providing immediate feedback, allowing them to learn from their mistakes in real-time."
Rooban Arumugam
Lower School Math and English Teacher at SJK(T) Selama
Frequently asked questions
Is the digital escape room maker free?
Yes, it's free for teachers.
What is a digital escape room?
A game on a screen where players solve a chain of puzzles to open locked doors and escape, often against a clock. In class, each lock is a review question, so students practice while they play.
How do I run an escape room in class?
Project the room and have teams take turns giving answers, or give each group a device. A wrong answer gets a nudge to try again, and a right one opens the next door. To let students play on their own, press Share and open the room to one of your classes.
What kinds of escape room puzzles can it make?
Number and fraction locks, word locks, direction locks, multiple choice questions and a final code that takes a digit from each room. Name the kind you want, or let Sparky pick for your topic.
Can I make it in Google Forms or Google Slides?
No. Sparky builds the escape room in Flint, and it can't be exported to Google Forms or Google Slides. Share a link to it instead, or ask Sparky for a printable version with clue cards.
Can I use my own questions?
Yes. Paste your questions and answers, or attach your notes, slides or a worksheet, and Sparky puts them behind the locks.
Can I change the escape room after Sparky makes it?
Yes. Ask for a timer, harder problems or a new theme, and Sparky updates the same escape room. The arrows above it go back to earlier versions.
