What makes the escape game special?
The game puts young people in a cooperative challenge: clues are provided in different languages, and the solutions can only be found by working together. This creates authentic opportunities for communication and interaction. Along the way, young people experience the importance of supporting each other, dealing with uncertainty, asking questions and finding creative ways to communicate across language barriers.
The escape game is easy to prepare, flexible to use and can turn any group room into an exciting shared experience. You’ll receive printable materials as well as clear, step-by-step instructions for setting up and running the game.
