Skills & Competencies
Our online educational escape rooms are designed to support high-quality classroom practice by embedding key skills within engaging, curriculum-relevant challenges. Through structured collaboration, purposeful talk, and problem-solving under pressure, pupils develop the behaviours and competencies that underpin effective learning. These activities support schools in building independence, resilience, and strong learning habits—aligning with Ofsted’s focus on personal development, behaviour for learning, and effective classroom interaction.
Resilience & Perseverance
Not every puzzle is solved on the first attempt—and that is by design. Teaching pupils to embrace trial and error, handle setbacks, and celebrate small wins, our challenges provide immediate feedback to help learners view mistakes as part of the learning process rather than as failure. This supports the development of resilience, perseverance, and a positive learning mindset. In turn, this contributes to pupils’ social and emotional development and their ability to remain engaged when learning becomes challenging.
Communication Skills
Do you want your classroom to benefit from better discussion habits through improved listening and speaking skills? Our approach supports the development of oracy by encouraging purposeful talk, verbal reasoning, oral accuracy, and persuasion. Pupils are required to articulate ideas, listen actively, ask questions, and respond thoughtfully to others as they work through challenges. Teachers will see increased confidence in spoken contributions and more structured, respectful dialogue—key foundations for effective learning across all elements of life.
Critical Thinking Skills
Knowing how to nurture students’ logic, deduction, and lateral thinking is a challenge that can be easily supported through our innovative learning activities. Each online challenge requires pupils to analyse information, identify patterns, make connections, and test hypotheses in order to progress. Teachers can observe pupils justifying their reasoning, refining their approaches, and applying thinking skills that extend beyond a single subject area. Fostering critical thinking will support deeper learning and independent problem-solving across the curriculum.
Teamwork & Collaboration
Our activities help quieter pupils find a voice, stronger personalities learn to listen, and groups discover how much stronger they can be when they pull in the same direction. Each thematic challenge is structured to promote positive interdependence, ensuring that every pupil has a role to play in the team’s success. Teachers will see pupils practising turn-taking, shared decision-making, and mutual support - skills that transfer directly into effective group work in every subject.
