We are pleased to announce the publication of a new guide titled “Best Practices for Creating and Conducting Educational Escape Rooms: A Comprehensive Guide for Teachers”, which provides a complete framework for bringing these innovative experiences into the classroom. This resource was developed as part of the IGLUE project.

What Are Educational Escape Rooms?

An educational escape room is a game where students, individually or in teams, must solve a series of puzzles within a time limit. However, their purpose goes beyond mere entertainment. Each puzzle is meticulously designed to foster the development of hard and soft skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective collaboration.

What Does the Guide Include?

• A description of the main characteristics and benefits of educational escape rooms.
• Guidelines and recommendations for helping teachers of any educational level and knowledge area to design, build, execute, and evaluate educational escape rooms considering different formats (physical, virtual, and hybrid) and delivery modes (face-to-face and remote).
• A list of resources that may be useful for teachers when building an educational escape room.
• Suggestions on how to use generative artificial intelligence tools for creating content for educational escape rooms.
• Examples of how educational escape rooms can be realistically applied in different educational settings.
