The Wet Bandits are at large once again! Kevin McCallister needs your help for this final showdown! The Wet Bandits are already familiar with Kevin's previous tactics and booby traps, therefore he needs your help and creativity to escape this time around. If successful, you will unlock a series of rewards that will help you escape the McCallister house, and call the authorities to put the Wet Bandits away for good! Learners will explore a 360° version of the original Home Alone house, and complete a series of challenges and escape room puzzles. Challenges will include a virtual scavenger hunt, movie trivia, creating their own original traps using items found around the house, as well as solving math and cipher puzzles. There will also be audio and video clips to aid students, therefore previous knowledge of the film, Home Alone is not required. This class will be immersive and engage students to use their creativity, and work as a team! All learners will receive a game kit with all the necessary materials to use inside of the virtual rooms.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Greetings Outschool Family!
My name is Dwitney Bethel! I would describe myself as a vivacious and effervescent free spirit! I am originally from Nassau, Bahamas, but I consider myself a North American, as I spent nearly a decade in both the United States and Canada respectively. Although, of all of the places I have either lived or traveled through, my favorite is by far Japan! There is something timeless and magical about a place that embodies both the past and future at the same time.
I offer both private and public sessions! So if you are looking for afterschool programs, birthday games, or private sessions, feel free to message me with your inquiry.
In terms of my personal experiences, I have a background in History, Creative Writing, and Globalization Studies. I have a Bachelor of Honours in History and Development Studies, an M.A. in Public History, as well as an M.A. in Globalization Studies. I worked as a teaching assistant throughout my graduate studies, and mentored ESL students as well! I had always imagined myself teaching English abroad until I made the decision to become an entrepreneur and work for myself! I recently graduated from a Business and Entrepreneurship program, as I wanted to become a business owner and start my own company. My company offers team building games as well as heritage, tourism and cultural experiences, and that is what I hope to bring here! Therefore, I will offer an array of courses in the upcoming weeks from a very interdisciplinary perspective! I will bring gameshow style classes to traditional subjects such as history, global politics, geography, and anthropology.
I also hope to have some creative writing and book club combination courses dealing with subjects such as Immigration, Minority Studies and Feminine Identity using historical fiction for middle school and young adults. I will also feature some interactive escape room and thriller mystery games sets as well!
I was never a student who could fit into one discipline, as I just had a love and interest in almost everything! Interdisciplinary studies changed my life, and that is the approach I hope to bring here! I hope I can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning. Reviews
