Escape from Hollow Hill
In this Halloween quest, players are trapped in the cursed village of Hollow Hill, where people mysteriously disappear every Halloween. To escape, they must explore eerie mansions, solve riddles, and uncover hidden clues that reveal the dark history of the village. Their ultimate goal is to find the ancient spell book, break the curse, and free both themselves and the villagers from the haunting.

The quest can be used for both individual and group lessons:
For individual lessons, share the link with your students and encourage them to use a laptop or tablet for better interaction.
For group lessons, split the class into pairs or teams and send the link in the chat. One person from each team can share their screen, but everyone should work together to solve the puzzles. You can even turn this into a fun competition to see which team finishes the quest first. Breakout rooms in Zoom can be used to organise the teams and move students between rooms.
Alternatively, the whole group can work together to solve the challenges.
