Imagine waking up one day in total darkness, unsure of where you are and unable to remember anything about yourself except your first name. You discover you are trapped in the middle of a maze called the Glade with several other people. Your mission is to find your way out while avoiding the Grievers – your life depends on it.
Or perhaps ….Danger lies before you, while safety lies behind, Two of us will help you, whichever you would find, One among us seven will let you move ahead, Another will transport the drinker back instead, Two among our number hold only nettle wine, Three of us are killers waiting hidden in line.
Both of these are opening scenarios for escape room activities in the library. Creating engaging interactive problem solving activities is an engaging way to connect with your students. Recently Julian Taylor and myself presented Breakouts and Beyond at the OLA Super Conference where we provided a quick overview of what a Breakout or escape room is and some advice on how to implement this type of activity in the library.
