What are the benefits of escape room games for teenagers?

Escape room games provide a fun and interactive way for teenagers to develop a wide range of skills that are valuable both in and out of school.

  • Critical thinking and problem-solving: They also present a series of puzzles and challenges that require logical thinking and problem-solving skills to overcome. Teenagers can develop their critical thinking abilities while having fun.
  • Decision-making: Players must make quick decisions under pressure to progress through the game, which could help teenagers improve decision-making skills and use their initiative.

  • Adaptability and resilience: Not every puzzle will be easy to solve, and teenagers may encounter setbacks along the way. Escape rooms teach them to adapt to new situations, learn from failures and persevere until they succeed.
