Another Murder On The Orient Express?

Did you know... Escape Rooms are super tools for education!

When playing escape rooms, children will test and develop key skills:

• Critical thinking & logic– players have to think out-of-the-box to solve cryptic clues, analysing clues, spotting patterns, making connections
• Maths skills– Clues test early maths abilities such as arithmetic, sequencing, measurement, or data interpretation in unique ways.
• Spatial reasoning– players build fine motor skills with hands-on experience.
• Reading comprehension– following instructions, rhymes, riddles and patterns enables users to ‘spot the odd one out’ or find the correct answer through context clues.
• Problem-solving– testing ideas, adjusting strategies when something doesn’t work and understanding that individual brains work differently.
