Students take on the role of a colonial aide with one mission: document six acts of tyranny and deliver the evidence to Congress before dawn. This no-prep, print-and-play paper escape room challenges grades 3-12 to work through six grievance-focused challenges and crack the final code. Part of the Five Pillars of the Declaration of Independence framework.
Did the signers of the Declaration really lose everything? Was Hancock’s famous signature actually an act of defiance? Did the signing even happen on July 4?

The Signers’ Sacrifice gives students 12 myth investigations, 3 investigative roles, and the most important question in historical thinking: why did we need this story to be bigger than the truth?
Grades 3–12. Print and go. Works for classrooms and homeschools.
