Description of the tool

Escape rooms are live-action, team-based games where players discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more spaces (rooms) to achieve a specific goal (usually escaping from the room) in a limited amount of time.
But why use them for educational purposes? One of the most common reasons is that today teachers and youth workers are facing difficulty in attracting and retaining young people’s attention. Educators are always in search of new tools and escape rooms can be a good solution.
