Abstract

[In this chapter, online escape rooms are assessed as part of game-based learning (GBL) that can be used as a free educational tool for teachers to enrich their remote classes. This study was created to test the possibilities that an escape room can provide in a remote learning environment. The benefits and the downsides are explored to understand the design process and the results from the different mechanisms used. The results can give an insight into future possibilities for making escape rooms for classes or for using this format as a prototype for an escape room application. An online escape room for Latvia’s Independence Day was developed for this purpose based on flexible learning itinerary principles using Google Slides, Forms, and Sites, and it was then shared with schools to test. There were 121 participants who started the game, but only 64 of them finished it. The data was collected using Google Sheets and later analyzed to understand the educational potential of using online escape rooms in GBL in a remote learning context.]
