Escapify

Numeric lock template

A paper lock for when you would rather not use screens, or to mix with Escapify's digital locks. The card has room to write the challenge and a box for each digit of the combination.

Write the challenge on the card, hide its clue in the classroom and note the combination in the teacher's part. Then cut the card out along the dashed line and hand it out: students write the combination in the boxes and show it to you to check.

In the options you can choose how many digits the combination has, from 3 to 8.

Print or download
