The rising popularity of escape rooms as entertainment and the popularity of online educational learning has led to the repurpose of escape rooms for the classroom.

With the movement towards blended learning and increasing student engagement online, escape rooms could present an exciting new way to engage students in content material. They have the potential to support the development of content knowledge as well as soft skills which are beneficial in employment such as leadership and communication. Further websites, videos, or other interactive digital material can easily be incorporated into the various puzzles within the escape activity.
