"A great way to work through this wonderful Psalm as the young people engage with the text, think about personal applications and have a bit of competitive fun!"

How precious to me are your thoughts,God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.

Psalm 139.17-18
Psalm 139 is one of the best loved Psalms in the Bible.
Take your youth or small group through this Psalm in a series of nine escape room challenges, written to make them as easy to set up as possible.
​
The Escape Room was written with 11- to 18-year-old youth and students in mind, but can be used with older children or adults. The instructions include a few sentences on each of nine parts of Psalm 139.
​
Everything else you need, you will probably have already e.g. string.
I'd love your feedback, and if you want to submit your time, we could get a leaderboard going!
​
You can download for free one of the challenges for this Escape Room so you can try before you buy. It's only £5.
