Abstract

Describes the use of the immersive game BreakoutEDU in Writing and Critical Inquiry courses at the University at Albany. Building on the growing popularity of escape rooms, which challenge players to “break out” of their surroundings using clues and puzzles, this collaborative team-building experience can be applied in educational settings to meet a range of learning objectives.
