Breakout EDU is an educational game that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It is a gamified learning experience that encourages teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The game is designed to be played in a physical classroom setting but can also be adapted to virtual or remote learning environments.

The concept of Breakout EDU is based on escape rooms, which are popular entertainment activities where players are locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to escape. In Breakout EDU, players work together to solve a series of puzzles and challenges to unlock a series of locks that will eventually lead them to a final puzzle or challenge.

The game is designed to be played in groups, with each group working together to solve the challenges. Players are given a set amount of time to solve the puzzles, usually around 45 minutes to an hour. The challenges can be adapted to different age groups and subject areas, making it a versatile game for teachers to use in their classrooms.

After completing their unit of study on South America, grade six students in all social studies classes accepted the breakout challenge and got busy in an exciting race against the clock!
