The majority of individuals consider escape rooms to be enjoyable pastimes that can be enjoyed with company. Escape rooms are now a common option for educators to use game-based learning as an engaging teaching tool in the classroom. Escape rooms can be used as a teaching tool to help teachers and students break free from the monotony and obsolete teaching methods. By utilizing a variety of tools and resources, educational escape rooms give teachers the chance to be creative and genuinely adapt and differentiate information to meet the requirements of their pupils.
This escape room activity was designed especially for sixth graders. Microsoft PowerPoint is the format that is utilized. The only way out of the dark and dangerous library where the kids are imprisoned is by completing the puzzles. There are ten riddles in all, and each has an own slide. They cover a wide range of subjects, including science, chemistry, mathematics, and logic. After the second click, each puzzle's solutions are revealed.
