The Librarian’s Last Watch
In this Halloween quest, players enter the ancient library where the head Librarian vanished one fateful Halloween night. The halls are alive with whispers, shifting shelves, and secrets bound in forgotten books. To uncover the truth, players must explore mysterious chambers, decipher codes, restore lost knowledge, and gather letters that reveal the Librarian’s true name. Their ultimate goal is to break the pact he made with the library itself — and free his soul from the endless watch he was cursed to keep.

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.
