Escape from Everest - Rocklings: Rocks & Minerals Adventure

Escape from Everest at Mount Everest

Rocks & Minerals Adventure Pack

High on the slopes of Mount Everest, the mountain is no longer stable.

Deep beneath the ice and stone, immense pressure is building. Rock layers are shifting, crystal structures are forming where they shouldn’t, and tectonic forces are grinding against one another. Ari Raider has detected a dangerous disturbance inside the mountain’s core and needs explorers to investigate before the system collapses.

In Escape from Everest at Mount Everest, students are dropped into one of the most extreme environments on Earth on a high-stakes, escape-room-style mission. By learning how minerals form, how rocks change under heat and pressure, and how Earth’s plates shape mountains, explorers must stabilize the system, navigate collapsing zones, and escape before Everest’s internal forces spiral out of control.

This adventure blends rocks and minerals science with story, exploration, and optional hands-on discovery.
