Escape Rooms provide an opportunity for participants to engage actively, as individuals or in a team, with content related to a specific topic. Some of the best outcomes of using Escape Rooms as a learning strategy include the opportunity to work with others, problem solving and pulling together to achieve a goal, using creativity, developing time management skills, and feeling a sense of accomplishment when they finish the challenge. Escape Rooms can be used as an introduction to new content, a deeper dive to explore content connections, as a review of prior learning, or just for a fun team-based activity.
