What is Breakout EDU?
BreakoutEDU is a game that will have your students thinking critically, problem-solving, troubleshooting, working collaboratively and having so much fun they won't even realize how much they are using their brains!

How Can I Use it to Enhance My Classroom?
BreakoutEDU games will revive your students' interest in using their brains and develop important skills for success in school and in life:
- critical thinking
- problem solving
- troubleshooting
- collaboration
- student-centered learning
- content area skills including math, science, social studies and language arts
BreakoutEDU challenges are great to use in the classroom and can be easily changed and adapted.
How it Works
- Follow the breakout directions and set up the challenge (I'm willing to do this part for you!)
- Invite players in, introduce the story, explain the rules.
- Players have a fixed amount of time to solve a series of challenges, riddles, and mysteries in order to breakout!
- Either the players solve all the clues and breakout or they don't!
- Review what went well and what didn't.
