Educational Escape Rooms

I had ALOT of fun cre­at­ing this project. The only com­plaint I have is how time con­sum­ing it was to cre­ate. Even after I became com­fort­able using Google Slides, brain­storm­ing dif­fer­ent hints and keep­ing every­thing orga­nized remained extreme­ly time-con­sum­ing. The escape room I cre­at­ed has six diff­fer­ent tasks to com­plete before you can escape; if I had more avail­able time I could def­i­nite­ly cre­ate more clues and prob­lems stu­dents have to solve before they are able to escape. I can see myself poten­tial­ly using this in my future class­room, depend­ing on the amount of prep time I had. I would use an escape room sim­i­lar to the one I cre­at­ed below as a test-review/prep tool, ensur­ing all the hints are rel­e­vant to the mate­r­i­al stu­dents are cur­rent­ly learn­ing- not just ran­dom pieces of knowl­edge. I can also see this as being a stu­dent-cre­at­ed project (for old­er grades), where stu­dents choose a top­ic to research and base their hints around their cho­sen topic.
