About Escape From France Puzzle Room

Many RAF pilots who were shot down over occupied France during the Second World War escaped capture and made it back to the UK. This took cunning, daring and skill. Do you think you could do it too?  

Work together as a family in our puzzle room and see if you’ve got what it takes to escape from France. Can you disguise yourself, speak French well enough to fool a German and find the right money to pay your rail fare to the coast?
