TEXAS DECA ESCAPE ROOM
It’s finally the day of your district’s career development conference! You’ve been looking forward to this day for weeks. Your chapter worked really hard this year and is supposed to be receiving an award on stage at opening session. Your district leaders have assured you that they won’t start opening session without your chapter because they want to be sure you get recognition for your hard work. The day is really not starting off great. Your bus driver was late, someone spilled coffee all over their suit on the bus, and to top it all off, you’re now stuck in traffic! Maps says there are 25 minutes left until you get to the conference. Opening session is scheduled to begin in 35 minutes. As long as everything goes right, you should make it in time. However, nothing is going right today...
Because the district leaders don’t want to begin without you, they may have to push the starting time of opening session if you’re not on time. For every minute that your chapter is late, 2 people forget what DECA is. Can you make it in time or does your chapter run the risk of being the reason people are forgetting what DECA is?!
SOLVE PUZZLES, RIDDLES, AND OBSTACLES TO MAKE IT TO OPENING SESSION BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
