Event Description

Escape room games and puzzles are fabulous ways to engage students in authentic learning, but they can seem daunting in terms of the technology and effort involved. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll have a chance to design (mostly) analog activities for your courses. We’ll start with a brief overview of why puzzles and games are effective learning tools, followed by an example of a tabletop escape room built around historical sources. We’ll then provide ideas, templates, and materials for you to build your own tabletop escape game during our session!

If you have questions about this session, contact Elina Salminen.
