Hey there! If you’re diving into the world of building escape rooms for the first time, welcome to the adventure! This is also my first time blogging, so we’re starting out together. I’m Lisa, a passionate escape room enthusiast and an educator who’s made escape rooms a yearly tradition for my students through an exciting, cross-curricular project. I was lucky enough to convince my district that these interactive challenges are as educational as they are fun (and let’s be honest, I’m having the time of my life doing it!).

This blog is my way of sharing the journey, day by day, strategy by strategy. I’ve tested countless approaches and finally feel like I’ve got a winning game plan. If you’re a fellow puzzle lover, or just curious to see how you might spark a love for problem-solving in your own students, you’re in the right place. Stick around to see how I take my class from our very first brainstorm all the way to the big “opening day” reveal!
