Educational benefits of Escape Rooms
Escape rooms are popular puzzle-based attractions that are sweeping the nation. While they’re absolutely fun for the whole family and can take interesting concepts to new heights, they also offer educational benefits for students and other learners. Not convinced that throwing yourself into a locked room with no way out is the answer you’re looking for? We’ve got 6 ways that escape rooms can benefit you, educationally.
1.PROBLEM-SOLVING
It might seem obvious, but a great way that escape rooms benefit students, families, and other clients is by developing their problem-solving skills.
Think about it: you’re locked in a room that might have other wings, but is generally pretty small. You’ve got a series of puzzles that you need to solve to win the game. It’s a simple concept, but escape rooms rely on parties using their brains in order to get through them. This means you have to think fast and on your feet, using logic and context clues in order to progress.
2.TEAMWORK
Let’s be honest: one person isn’t going to have much fun in an escape room, and unless they’re a genius, they’re not going to win.
The way escape rooms are formulated requires either a large party or two smaller, separate parties to work together to solve the puzzle. You won’t get anywhere if the members of your group are constantly arguing or trying to fight over who the alpha of the group is. You need to set aside your differences and use each of your strengths in order to get through the room.
Escape rooms promote teamwork by offering multiple puzzles. Without working together, they’ll be impossible to solve.
3.CREATIVITY
Escape rooms let you focus on your creativity to get through the different puzzles.
When you first walk into an escape room, hopefully, the first thing you notice is their theming. Some of the puzzles may not look like puzzles, even after you inspect them.
This requires you to use your creativity to discover how the puzzle’s meant to be solved. Remember, all you have is your brainpower. The possibilities are endless.
4.FOCUS
An escape room can help you improve your focus, mainly because of the time limits imposed on parties in the rooms.You only have a certain amount of time in which to solve the puzzle. If you don’t, that’s it, you don’t get a second chance – unless you want to pay for re-entry.
Therefore, you need to focus on the puzzles and work hard to solve them. If your mind is elsewhere or you’re distracted, you don’t stand a chance.
5.GOAL-MINDED
If you have trouble setting goals for yourself, not to w
orry: any escape room you go to will have them already in place.Escape rooms help you foster proper goals by setting smaller ones throughout the challenge. When you successfully reach one, you can celebrate. When you reach the final one, it’s highly rewarding.
This is a great tactic to instill in students especially. If you set goals and work toward them, you’ll be rewarded.
6.ESCAPE ROOMS: ENGAGING AND SMART FUN
There’s something thrilling about being transported into a new setting and being forced to find your way out. It gets even better when you’re on a team of people you’re close with.
Escape rooms can foster good goals and team-building, along with promoting focus and creativity. They’re a fantastic educational supplement or a workplace team building exercise.
