Planit Teachers Escape Room Maker review
A focused maker for printable, sequential classroom escape-room activities.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Planit Teachers Escape Room Maker is a browser-based tool for teachers who want to turn topic questions and answers into classroom escape-room activities. Teachers can start with a preset or supply questions with single-word answers, then connect three to six puzzles. Optional anagram, maths-chain, symbol-code and hidden-word puzzles add variety while keeping the activity centered on printable, sequential problem-solving. It suits solo teachers and small teams looking for pupil-facing puzzle packs rather than a broad platform for managing learning or measuring student progress.
Its strongest fit is the printable workflow. The maker generates a pupil pack, envelope labels and a certificate, alongside a separate teacher answer key with hints. An optional timed board checks codes in sequence and allows hints; activities can also be delivered by link or embedded on another website. This gives teachers a choice between print-led play and a simple digital checking layer. The published feature set does not include multimedia clues, branching logic or teacher analytics, so it is less suited to activities that depend on rich media, adaptive paths or tracking learner performance.
The maker is identified as free to use, print and download, with a free teacher account required to save work; the free plan has a watermark and allows up to 50 saved creations. Paid subscription tiers apply to Planit Teachers' broader plans, not specifically to the maker: Starter is £7.99 monthly or £69 annually, Pro is £15.99 monthly or £135 annually, and Max is £31.99 monthly or £269 annually. These plans list monthly credits and lesson allowances, with up to 20 slides per lesson. Choose this tool for printable, ordered puzzle sequences and straightforward code checking; consider another option if analytics, multimedia clues or branching are central to your teaching workflow.
