Available Learning Platforms

Digital and Interactive Puzzle Experiences

Level up learning with Breakout EDU's Digital Platform! Lock of the Day is a daily, singular, digital puzzle that can be used to start class as a bellringer, offer a mid-lesson brain break, end class as an exit ticket, or even serve as an activity for students who finish sooner than others. Each puzzle ignites curiosity by allowing students to explore different subjects in a dynamic and immersive way. Our student performance reports allow teachers to quickly view which students complete the puzzle and which ones may need additional support.

Breakout EDU digital games challenge students to work together or individually to solve puzzles, decipher clues, and unlock a series of virtual locks before time runs out. Select a digital game from our growing games library that aligns with the subject, topic, and grade level suited for your classroom. Not only do these games instantly grab students' attention, but they also provide teachers with a fun way to assess student content knowledge.

Immersive Adventures and Physical Kits

Dive into these one-of-a-kind digital escape room experiences! Breakout+ games are unique, educational point-and-click adventures that immerse your students into vibrant and engaging adventures with rich storytelling, dynamic sound effects, and challenges around every corner. Like a traditional escape room, each Breakout+ game encourages players to move around the space to discover clues, utilize critical thinking skills, tap into prior content knowledge, and work as a team to break out!

You can also transform your classroom into a real-life escape room with a Breakout EDU Kit! Each kit-based game includes instructions on how to pair a series of content-aligned puzzles with the physical locks and components included in a Breakout EDU Kit. These hands-on games get students out of their seats and working together to demonstrate their understanding of essential course content and learning objectives.

Student-Led Creation and Standards Alignment

Encourage students to become content creators with the Breakout EDU Game Design Studio. This incredible tool equipped with Adobe Express, enables students to become the architects of their learning by designing their own breakout games. Students must apply their knowledge and understanding of the subject matter to construct stories, puzzles, and clues that they can share with the rest of the class to solve. This process requires them to think deeply about the concepts, identify key information, and present it in an engaging and logical way.

Breakout EDU games are designed with a commitment to educational standards alignment, ensuring that each activity provides a valuable and effective learning experience for students. Explore thousands of games that are carefully crafted to integrate seamlessly with various curriculum objectives across multiple subject areas.
