How does the escape room maker work?
Edform's escape room maker turns a quiz into a digital escape room with one choice. Your questions are split into rooms of three clues. Students answer each clue to collect a digit of the door code, open the door and move on to the next room until they escape. It takes up to 30 questions of any type — choice, matching, ordering, gaps, numbers and more — and each clue opens in the normal question player. Give it as homework or play it in a live game; every answer is graded as usual.
