Designing Escape Activities For Higher Education: Build your own escape box
Escape experiences have become a worldwide cultural phenomenon, where participants solve clues and puzzles to ‘escape’ a room or unlock a box within a set time limit. The proposed activity outlies our experience in designing an escape box for a large undergraduate business strategy course. We outline principles and key challenges in the design of learning escape experiences, sharing some of the key resources by which our escape box was designed. We then present teams of activity participants with an escape box challenge of their own. Can you unlock the box in time?
