Escape Rooms

Where to begin creating your first escape game is a personal preference. Some people start with a template, while others like to start from scratch. Either way, you will need to decide on a few necessary components. Below are a few tips to help you get started.  You can also work with FSCJ Librarians to create a game for your class. 

1. Purpose Starters: What is the goal of your game? team-building, mastering a skill, reviewing material, previewing texts, etc.
   1. Chunk the objective: Evaluate if you need to divide your objective into individual sections (or puzzles) to help commit the information to memory. 
   2. Examples: Use questions from a quiz or a chapter review. We used a mnemonic device to help students learn how to evaluate websites. 
2. Story Starters:
   1. Types of Escape: Is it a series of puzzles solved in order? A non-linear escape room? Scavenger hunt? Game creator, “Exit Strategy Games” provides a summary of 5 types of escape games.
   2. Theme: Another industry leader, “Escape Front”, discusses popular themes in this article.
