Atlantean Mission: 

You are part of a team of accomplished archaeologists, historians, and scholars, tasked with finding evidence supporting the Lost City of Atlantis. After years of research, you think you have found the location of the lost city of Atlantis. After an encounter with the Kraken, you find yourself shipwrecked, and now aboard an Atlantean seacraft as you explore the depths of the ocean. When you reach your destination, but find yourself in an underwater mystery and you start to wonder….did you find the lost city, or did it find you? Will you uncover the truth about Atlantis before time runs out?

Learners will work in teams to unlock puzzles and examine historical evidence to answer historical debates around Atlantis as a real place, and its actual location.  The first part of the experience will explore the myth and mystique of Atlantis, and investigates the origins of the Atlantis story. Learners will examine the historical significance of Plato and his theories on historical debates around Atlantis. The escape room will be very interactive, and the puzzles range from basic math questions, logic riddles to word ciphers. As learners gather their evidence, they will need to answer questions and pick a position on debates surrounding Atlantis before time runs out!  

No previous experience in the topic is required, although students interested in history, Ancient Greece, Plato, Atlantis, or mythology would find this course as a supplement to their studies. This course focuses on these topics from a historical perspective, and will allow students to examine the evidence to support their side of the debate issues.
