?Yes but mostly I get frustrated when I am putting the kits together and a lock is not opening . It does not happen often when kids are participating in the games. I always set up the "lock parking lot" and tell the kids that when they get the lock off to put it there without playing with it or re-locking it! I have lost locks before, so I am just as careful as possible... but it's inevitable. I've reached out to Breakout Edu about it and they don't seem to have a solution, but they have sent me replacement locks.

Do any of you find the locks included with the kit don't last very long before they break and/or get stuck often enough to deter kids who have the correct combo?

Same at my school. We are starting to use them again as well. We do a combination of digital and kits.

The set up for the games can be time consuming, but I find that kids are almost always engaged in the activities.

CAUTION: This Email is from an EXTERNAL source. Ensure you trust this sender before clicking on any links or attachments.
Wondering if people still use Breakout Edu kits? Or are they kind of outdated/ overdone by now?
Any better alternatives since they are pretty pricey?
Thanks in advance!!
