This guide provides practical tips and examples to help educators transform course content into engaging, self-directed learning experiences through educational escape rooms.

This guide outlines a practical framework for designing educational escape rooms using H5P’s Interactive Book tool. It highlights the effectiveness of game-based learning and gamification in higher education, while identifying common gaps such as superficial theoretical integration and limited adaptability for self-directed learning. The document presents escape rooms as a solution, emphasising their immersive, problem-based approach and adaptability for independent learning. It details a four-step design process: pre-planning with educational theory alignment, content design with narrative and feedback mechanisms, creation in H5P with structured levels, and testing and optimisation based on feedback.
