Lord of the Flies Escape Room Review Activity

Are you ready for an engaging review for your Lord of the Flies unit? Students review the novel by William Golding by completing a series of puzzles to demonstrate understanding of plot, character, figurative language, conflict, and theme. There’s even a TWIST ending!

✅ Paper game (no locks required)

✅ Full teacher’s guide and set-up instructions

✅ ~45 minutes for on-level 9th graders

If you'd like you can find the digital version of this escape room here.

Your Lord of the Flies Review Game includes:

1. Four core tasks (plot, character, close reading passage, and an important quote with a writing extension activity) with instructions and clues
2. A *secret* final task that flips the tables on your students and requires that they work as a whole class -- this underscores the themes surrounding collaboration & competition in the novel
3. Five station cards
4. "Oops! You Let the Fire Go Out!" cards (for optional increased difficulty)
5. Student Answer Sheets
6. A full Teacher's Guide with set-up options, a printing checklist, and an Answer Key
7. A poster for your door. ;)
