This course was excellent. I am excited to try out the escape rooms that I made and to create more!

I have been wanting to make an educational escape room for years but was overwhelmed but the details and found the premade ones didn’t support my learning objectives. This is a great way to start! This course allows you to build it piece by piece into a very manageable intro escape room, and sharing resources and ideas in the discussions was so helpful! I can’t wait to use it!
