Breakout EDU is a "platform for immersive learning games." Think of an escape room, but instead of a room it's a box in your classroom that you lock up in all sorts of ways, leaving clues that students have to solve. While Breakout EDU sells a prepackaged kit with all the necessary materials, they also provide a list on their site of all the components so that you can "open source" your own kit, and whether you buy their kit or make your own, you're always free to add more components.


 * immediate possibilities for English, Social Studies/History, Language
 * good to immerse students in a story – have them play a role in a simulation
 * game design should consider total numbers, groups – groups can compete with multiple kits or each play a part in the unlocking
 * clues can be linear or scattered, but students have to be able to make sense of them
