In this video, I walk you through how I actually teach with digital escape rooms (especially on Outschool) so it’s not just “here’s a cute activity,” but a real lesson that keeps students locked in. I show how I embed the academic work directly into the puzzles—things like math equations and reading comprehension tasks—so students have to practice the skill to move forward. The goal is simple: they’re motivated to solve the challenge because they want to “escape,” and you get higher engagement without having to beg for participation. I also give you a sneak peek of a digital escape room in action and talk through the flow I use to make it run smoothly in a live class. Digital escape rooms work best when you’re intentional about collaboration, pacing, and clarity—students should always know what to do next, even while they’re problem-solving. If you want to build one alongside me, I share my workshop where I teach the full process so you can create an escape room that’s fun, structured, and actually teaches the content.
