Information
Full instructions
1. Decide to play solo, in teams of 2-4 students, or as a whole class. Give each team scratch paper, pencils, and one shared device, then have them enter your game code at play.dingopunks.com. A success screen will appear.
2. Walk teams through the setup screen, and allow them to choose their own characters. Then they'll press "Start," which plays a short interactive cutscene to introduce the story. When the cutscene ends, the escape room begins!
3. Teams complete a series of math or reading challenges. After all questions in a challenge are answered, a secret code input appears. Students use clues from their answers to figure it out. Once every challenge is complete, a "Finish" button appears. Pressing it ends the escape room and shows a final debriefing.
Recommended settings
Number of players: 3 students per team is typically the ideal number for balancing difficulty and engagement.
Number of challenges: to cover every skill, choose the maximum number of challenges available. Only select fewer for differentiation or timing constraints.
Time limit: Start with 10 minutes per challenge. This ensures excitement and urgency, while still allowing plenty of time to solve each puzzle.
Hints: We recommend enabling hints, which will help students remain independent if they get stuck.
Troubleshooting
Before doing anything else: Double-check that your device is connected to the internet, and that your browser is updated to the latest version of Chrome or Safari. This will solve most issues.
Website is blocked by district firewall: Contact your IT department and ask them to unblock the site. In the meantime, consider playing Dingo Punks as a whole class. You can mirror the website from your own personal device to your classroom's smart TV or projector.
Website is loading slowly or not at all: Ensure that you have a strong WIFI connection, your device does not have a low battery, and your device is not in power-saving mode. These three things commonly cause slow loading speeds.
You found a glitch or bug: Visit our contact page and send us an email with the following information:
1. The escape room in question
2. A description of the bug
3. Your device type and browser
4. A screenshot, if possible
If you include these things and it's a legitimate bug, we'll refund your purchase and get it fixed ASAP.
Any issue not stated here: Visit our contact page and send us email.
