Educational escape rooms are a great way to get students excited about your subject & engaged in classroom discussions. Through this funded teaching and learning project we have developed an adaptable template to customise your own educational escape room. The template offers a structure for five interlinked puzzles, into which subject content is embedded.
The project is designed for educators who want to use escape rooms for learning, but don’t know where to start. By customising your own escape room you’ll understand how puzzles hang together & can be used as part of your educational toolkit.
Budget was a priority in the design, as a result, all resources – including the locks – are printable, you just need to provide a large and small envelope. However, with a small budget (approx. £25 per box) you can make greater use of materials, giving your escape room a polished finish.
If you’re interested in customising your own educational escape room you can download the step by step Resource Pack, or you can work with us to co-create something more bespoke. We’d love to help you bring escape room experiences into your classroom, if you need any support please contact us at:
