Description:

Students become game designers as they build their very own arcade that doubles as an escape room experience. Each game they create will reveal a clue that leads players to the next challenge, forming a full puzzle adventure from start to finish.

Kids will design games that can be solved within a 5-minute window for younger players, then level up the difficulty for older ones. Their creations can use technology, hands-on mechanisms, recycled materials, or a mix of everything—whatever brings their ideas to life.

By the end of class, students will have crafted a working Escape Room Arcade full of clever puzzles, creative builds, and interactive fun."
