Just discovered this post about my Cyber Security Escape room - www.sussex.ac.uk/broadcast/re... I'm interested in cheap/portable but engaging escape room design. Takes me ages to design one but am assured by experienced colleagues it get's faster!
I've got a collection of these if you want them - but would love more! My requirements are... free, easy to learn, works well in a Teams meeting, take about 20 mins tops!
We played Scattegories in our online team meet (17 people) this morning: really.boring.website/lobby - this is a really nice site for it. Rounds take 2 minutes, then allow another 15 for all the discussion as you vote for the responses! A fun Friday activity.
Well done! You are our second, third and fourth submitter - narrowly missed being the first by 2 hours :-)
Finished my #Goodreads challenge last night www.goodreads.com/user_challen... with a few weeks to go. There has mostly been murder and sexy faeries this year.
If I was starting my career again, then absolutely I'm doing this! What an amazing opportunity.

Thanks Pen! We'll take that quote!!
Thanks for sharing Claire!

Yesterday we saw loads of German cars with roof boxes and flashing lights and stickers heading between Chichester and Brighton. Hive mind…any ideas what that was all about? Just curious…
Is there a preferred link?
Yes please - fun is always welcome!

Our student Minecraft society has built the campus and nearby stadium - I've just had a fly around - it's spectacularly detailed! www.theargus.co.uk/news/2416632...
This weekend I'm building an escape game activity for the Girl Guides. My big, wooden, six-padlock chest is being repuposed again. Made that for a conference 10 years ago - it's been in regular use ever since!
The clock in his head. Powered by caffeine presumably…
