- Select one of the 5 missions on the page, and work for 15 minutes or less to locate clues and determine if a social media story is entirely true, entirely false, or somewhere in between.

What is a Digital Breakout?
A Digital Breakout may also be called a Digital Escape Room.
This is a web-based, game-like activity where students use clues to unlock a series of puzzles or activities to solve a challenge (or to escape a digital room).
Students frequently work together, (conference, or chat) as they work to locate and solve clues.
