Designing Escape the Room Puzzle Games in E-Learning #198

Escape the Room Games #198: Challenge | Recap

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to share an interactive demo based on the popular escape the room games. You can choose any theme you like for your game.

The thing with EtR games is that they can go from tricky to frustrating quickly. Try to find ways to integrate hints, clues, and even cheats into your interaction. This will help your fellow challengers as well as your humble curator when he’s recapping your amazing examples.
