Example of Digital Educational Escape Room Design Using Genially Platform

Abstract

This chapter explores the design and implementation of digital educational escape rooms using the Genially platform. Focusing on two case studies—one on differential equations and the other on integral calculus—it demonstrates how escape rooms can be structured to enhance learning in mathematical disciplines. The chapter outlines the design process, from template selection and customization to the creation of interactive puzzles, narrative elements, and feedback mechanisms. By using Genially's flexible tools, educators can create immersive, gamified learning environments that promote problem-solving, critical thinking, and persistence. The chapter highlights the educational outcomes of these escape rooms, emphasizing their role in reinforcing theoretical knowledge through active engagement, fostering student collaboration, and motivating learners to apply mathematical concepts in innovative ways. Additionally, advanced customization techniques using Genially, such as embedding external code, are discussed to further personalize the escape room experience.
