Create Your Own Digital Escape Room for Learning

Escape room adventures are very popular all over the world. A team of 4-6 people must work together to solve thematic challenges in the form of puzzles in order to find their way out of a closed room in a certain time. Such learning adventures have also found their way into education, where the puzzles are subject-specific problems that need to be solved. In this way, knowledge related to topics is used to learn in a playful, motivated and team-based way.

Digital Escape Rooms have some advantages over the conventional original; they can be copied, scaled and only require digital resources. They can also be played alone, in teams and both online and face-to-face.

In this workshop, you will first learn what a digital escape room is and how you can use it for your learning purposes. Next, you will learn how to design a digital escape room and how to create it for your own needs.

In addition, we will show which possibilities exist to develop digital escape-rooms in different variations, to offer them in a practical way and to carry them out.

In short: join us to experience and practice how freely available digital tools can be used to design and use digital escape rooms according to your requirements.
