Escape Rooms

Escape rooms are physical rooms designed with a series of puzzles or challenges that participants must complete in order to fulfill the objective which is to "escape" the room. The participants work as a team and each team member leverages their own skills or background knowledge to help the team escape. The escape room activity is usually timed and the challenges are based on an overarching theme such as science or location. 
Escape room activities in the classroom are designed similarly but focus on instructional goals such as information literacy, literature or whatever topic the teacher wants students to explore. Puzzles might include using a cipher wheel to decode a word, number or phrase, clues written in invisible ink, mathematical equations or physical puzzles to assemble. 
Digital escape rooms have comparable goals to physical escape rooms but the exploration and puzzles are all online.
Escape room activities can be used to introduce or review a topic, or as a team building activity. Faculty report high student involvement and enthusiasm with these types of student-centered applications.
