Dear Lovers of Enigmas,
in our appointments with the puzzles could not miss... Mrs White!

You all know who she is, but maybe you don't know everything about her! In fact, we reveal that Mrs White is very messy, but luckily also very smart!
In her closet there is a drawer full of socks:
- 10 black
- 8 red
- 6 white
She is about to prepare for an elegant dinner and would like to take a couple of the same color but... the electric current has jumped and her house is completely in the dark! She is late, so she decides to take some socks and go to prepare at the home of her friend Miss Peacock.
How many socks did she pull out of the drawer, to be sure that she found two the same?

The solution on our website www.steamerproject.eu/enigmas

The enigmas and contexts of an Escape Room can also arise from some "SCIENTIFIC CURIOSITIES".
Let's see an example!

One of the first Theorems that we have all known in primary schools is that of Pythagoras.
But did you know that the first tangible evidence of the Pythagorean theorem comes from Babylonian tablets dating back to 1000 BC. approx., centuries before Pythagoras?

Try building a story by reading some more information!

On the ground floor, there are 3 switches in the off position, but only one of these controls the attic light. Miss Peacock cannot see the light bulb in the attic from the ground floor, but she has been able to determine which switch is the right one by going up to the attic only once.

What makes an educational Escape Room a really exciting and unforgettable experience? Puzzles? Atmosphere? Story? Characters? Place? You got it right: all of those! However, when we start an Escape Room, the most brain breaking thing is a good and grasping story that involves and immerse you into its world. If you have such a story-you have most of your Escape Room. It may seem very simple as there are myriads of stories, no need to create one; yet, there will be a high risk to copy one’s Room or, which may be even more evil- to disappoint players with a déjà vu plot. Here, we share a plot and storyline idea generator for not only a short story, novel, book, but a fresh and juicy game script, which may help create a plotline, characters and situation.

The STEAMER Generator is an online tool to help teachers in all aspects of creating their own ERs, step by step. The generator will allow the following operations:
👉 Use a complete RE and modify some aspects of it, such as changing the puzzles or the music.
👉 Create a complete RE using the resource library (images, puzzles, music, synopsis, etc.).

🤝 The generated templates will include guidelines for inclusion. Once the STEAMER generator is online, teachers, tutors and educators will be encouraged to log on to the platform. Authenticated users will be able to access all resources, share content (scenarios, graphics, puzzles, etc.) and give feedback to improve the platform and its content.

🧐 When a new method is introduced to teachers, it is important to provide ready-to-use materials. We are currently developing ready-to-use educational escape room kits with corresponding lessons.

Each kit (escape room + lesson) consists of:
✔ scenario;
✔ riddles and challenges;
✔ hints;
✔ printable graphic material;
✔ digital tools (QR code, AR animation, digital documents, etc.).

These ERs are focused on STEAM challenges and are linked to each partner's national curriculum. Each scenario will focus on elements of European heritage, either by focusing on scientific characters or by using a discovery or research period as a backdrop.

🤓 See you soon to find out more and discover the first kits!

Inspiring!

Escape Room can help you develop leadership skills.
CitadaSkola, Liepaja, Latvia. Being involved into a leadership project “Līderis Manī” our school hosted around 200 teachers from all Latvia. At the event we shared our ideas on how Escape Room method helps build leadership skills and also our experience in STEAMER project. Here we present 7 findings in the Escape Room related to leadership.
1. Escape Room may help you identify the leaders in your team:
Taking your team to Escape Room you will quickly learn who in your team has effective communication skills, who excels in problem solving and who motivates and inspires collaboration and success.

2. Escape Room will help you understand your team communication skills:
Communication is key in both the work environment and the escape room. By watching your team play the escape room, you can learn how your team members communicate. Some questions to ask when observing:
• Who is the best listener?
• Who uses many different ways to solve a problem?
• What interrupts others? Who is interrupted?
• Who immediately passes information on instructions and puzzles?
• Who finds the clue, puts it in his pocket and doesn't tell anyone?

3. The escape room allows you to experience problem solving and critical thinking under the pressure of time, which is a useful experience for a successful team:
By playing the escape room, you will test and strengthen your critical thinking skills. As with any life situation or a real-life task, a good leader will take a variety of approaches to solving a problem by adopting creative and unusual methods. Being creative and able to think out of a box is a key to many locks!
4. Working together to achieve a common goal-to unlock an escape room, creates a healthy competition, which leads to the development of good leadership skills.
Team building is the reason why escape room techniques have become a popular way of team building - it works!
5. Escape room helps you understand your team members' conflict solution style.
Escape rooms can be a great way to work on conflict solving. Some conflicts that can occur in escape rooms:
• There is not enough time to complete the game
• Opinions vary widely on how to accomplish a particular task
• Decide whether to ask for a hint
• Someone made a mistake that cost time
• Having hard time deciding who does what in the group
While these problems seem to be bad, they are really good practices for resolving conflicts that could happen in a classroom, in a group work or in any real-life situation.
6. The debriefing process in an escape room is a must have lesson on leadership about winning and losing.
Losing a game and making mistakes is an important part of learning and development, and a strong leader understands these benefits. Here are some questions to consider after the game:
• What is the attitude of the leader when they lose the game?
• Are they blaming someone or something?
• Are they talking about the positive?
• Do they encourage everyone to try again?
• Do they appreciate what they have achieved?

7. An escape room is a great opportunity to improve emotional atmosphere in a team.
Working on a common task in a relaxed and fun way improves emotional health of team members. A good leader is an empathetic leader caring for a well-being of all the members of the team.
