Description
This is a simplified “escape room” to challenge your shape knowledge (and general visual awareness and logical thinking).
It contains 10 simple puzzles that let you see shapes in a slightly different way each time. The solution of each puzzle is a “jigsaw piece”. A part of a larger image/puzzle that’s shaped like a puzzle piece. Once you’ve solved all puzzles, and combine the pieces gained, a recognizable image should come out and prove you did it right!
We know that “escape room for 4-year-olds” sounds insane. But we knew this could be done, and we think we’ve found ways to do it. The puzzles in this escape room are still puzzles, but they’re absolutely simple enough (and completely textless, of course) that young kids can understand and solve them. Moreover, the solutions are completely visual too, creating a bigger image as a reward. And if it’s too hard? Too long? You can play only some of the puzzles, by just giving the “pieces” of the unplayed puzzles right from the start!
We hope this is will be a great “first escape room” for many Apprentices.

Subject: Mathematics
The curriculum is split into six main subjects that align with your typical school subjects.
This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:
This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.
Faction: Runaways
This resource is part of the Runaways Faction.
But that's just one way to teach and explore its topic(s)!
You can always move to a different Faction to find a more effective way to teach the same topic.
Played a quiz? Try a game! Played a game? Try an escape room! And so on.
For example,
Charm: Printable Escape Kit
This product is part of the Printable Escape Kit charm.
Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:
Printable Escape Kits are escape room experiences meant to be printed (and thus played physically, offline).
Escape Rooms are a combination of puzzles and mysteries that you try to solve as a group, so you can “escape” before time runs out. Because every puzzle presents a revelation or new information, they are great educational tools.
Spell: My First Shapes
This resource is part of the My First Shapes topic (or "spell").
Just like colors, shapes provide an easy way to categorize the world around us and break it into smaller parts. This helps understand the world better: now you can explicitly ask your parents for the square thing, for example. It also enables teaching crucial skills such as grouping and combining later.
