What is a digital escape room activity?
A digital escape room activity is a collaborative learning experience for students where teams solve seasonal and holiday problem-solving challenges to unlock “digital” locks and earn clues to “escape” the room.
How does a digital escape room work?
A digital escape room activity is like a physical escape room; however, instead of unlocking real lockboxes, students solve problem-solving tasks and use a code to unlock “digital” locks. Students then earn a letter they can use to solve a riddle and escape the room after completing all the tasks.
