Escape rooms in Berlin with the school class

The fascination of escape rooms: Why the adventures are so irresistible for school classes

‍

1. Teamwork and Cooperation:

‍

Escape rooms are designed to be solved in groups. This means that students have the opportunity to work together as a team. They must share ideas, communicate with each other, and support each other to solve the puzzles and achieve the goal. This teamwork not only promotes social skills, but also shows how important working together is to be successful.

‍

2. Tricky puzzles for all minds:

‍

Escape rooms offer a wide variety of puzzles and challenges. From logical brain teasers to creative puzzles to math problems — there are suitable challenges for every type of student. This enables everyone to contribute their individual strengths and to learn from each other.

‍

3. Exciting learning:

‍

Escape rooms are not only entertaining but also offer an opportunity to learn in a fun way. Many escape rooms are designed to integrate historical events, scientific concepts or literary topics. Students and students can take on the role of detectives to solve a historical mystery, or experiment as scientists in a laboratory. This practical learning makes the subject matter tangible and motivates students to dive deeper into the topic.

‍

4. Encourage critical thinking:

‍

The various puzzles in escape rooms require logical thinking, creative problem management and the linking of information. Students are encouraged to think outside the box and try out different solutions. This critical thinking is an important skill that they can use not only in the escape room, but also in school and later professional life.

5. Shared experiences of success:

‍

Successfully solving an escape room strengthens students' self-confidence and creates a shared sense of achievement for the entire class. It shows that they can overcome major challenges together and encourages them to boldly contribute to other school projects as well.

‍

6. Positive group dynamics:

‍

Escape rooms promote positive group dynamics as they encourage students to support each other, share ideas, and pay attention to each other. This can help improve the classroom climate and can strengthen overall cooperation in the school context.

‍

What type of escape rooms are suitable for school groups?

‍

Escape rooms therefore not only offer exciting puzzles, but also an opportunity for school classes to learn, grow and create unforgettable memories together. The next time a school trip or special occasion is coming up, a visit to an escape room could be a great way to combine fun and education in a unique way.

‍

There's just one minor problem with the matter. Escape rooms are often too small to accommodate an entire school class and solve puzzles in small groups at the same time. But since we believe in the concept of understanding a topic better through puzzles in a playful way, we have developed something similar: The School Rally Puzzle Tour through Berlin. During the scavenger hunt “Flight and Espionage at the Berlin Wall”, which was developed jointly by an expert team of educators, storytellers and city guides, the students learn in a playful way about the GDR, escape history and spying on the Stasi. You have the opportunity to acquire knowledge yourself by solving exciting puzzles and thus to link it sustainably with what you have experienced. Otherwise, you can imagine the puzzle tour as something like an escape room on a smartphone that takes you through the entire city - with all the benefits that escape rooms have, of course.

‍

SchoolRallye thus meets the needs of both young people and teachers. In the fresh air, they solve tasks in teams and learn both in terms of content and collaboration, team spirit, critical thinking and much more. And there is a shared sense of achievement when you have solved all the puzzles.

Another special thing about the mission is that it was written based on a true story. The characters actually existed and you learn about their realities of life and their challenges. In this way, Berlin is brought to life as a scene of German history, combining actions and feelings with knowledge about the GDR.

SchoolRallye gives students an adventure to learn across subjects, autonomously and with lots of fun.
