Quake Escape: Earthquake & Plate Tectonics Adventure

The ground is moving. The mission has begun.

This is not an ordinary earthquake lesson.

Quake Escape combines real specimen excavation, an interactive disaster story, an escape room, a scavenger hunt, a treasure hunt, collectible characters, trading cards, a map, and an online educational experience—all inside a world being shaken apart.

Young explorers enter Quake City just as powerful seismic activity begins. Roads have cracked, bridges have shifted, research stations have lost power, and the Grumblins have hidden the Gemlets along active fault lines.

To rescue them, kids must follow the emergency map, choose escape routes, solve seismic challenges, investigate plate movement, capture the Grumblins, and excavate real rocks, minerals, and fossils from their Mystery Dig.

Every mission moves them closer to stabilizing the city, defeating the final Grumblie, and rescuing all ten missing Gemlets.

Along the way, kids discover why earthquakes happen, how tectonic plates move, where faults form, and how scientists monitor Earth’s shifting crust.

They are not simply reading about earthquakes.

They are escaping one.

One Kit. One Earth-Shaking Adventure.

Excavate Real Pieces of Earth

Inside the Mystery Dig are six genuine specimens waiting to be uncovered.

Kids dig, observe, compare, and identify their discoveries while investigating the materials that make up Earth’s crust.

The specimens turn an invisible underground process into something kids can see, touch, and collect.

Capture the Grumblins. Rescue the Gemlets.

The Grumblins have taken advantage of the chaos and hidden the Gemlets throughout Quake City.

Kids must solve each seismic challenge and capture the Grumblins before the next route opens. Every rescued Gemlet becomes a game piece for the included card game.

The final mission requires kids to use everything they have learned to defeat the Grumblie and complete the Quake Escape.

Play Online and in the Real World

Quake Escape blends physical excavation with an online disaster adventure.

Kids use real specimens, cards, characters, clues, and their emergency map while progressing through a digital world of cracking ground, moving plates, and high-stakes decisions.

It feels like an earthquake movie, escape room, treasure hunt, science mission, and gem-mining expedition combined.
