Do you fancy an Escape game ?

Do you fancy an Escape game ?

Educational Escapes Games are possible! Live, by video, as a group or alone, let yourself be tempted!

Escape games have become very popular in recent years!

The participants are locked in a room symbolising a closed room (a castle, a pirate ship, an Egyptian pyramid, a prison, a distant planet...).

They must work together to investigate and solve the enigmas that will allow them to escape in a limited time.

But where do Escapes Games come from and why are they so successful?

Before Escapes Games happened in a real, tangible place, they were computer games called point-and-click:

  • Une pièce est représentée à l’écran
  • You click on the objects to open or retrieve them.
  • Le joueur associe les différents objets et déverrouille des mécanismes qui lui permettent d’avancer dans le jeu.

C’est en 2007 au Japon, plus précisément à Kyoto, que l’on voit apparaître la première transposition des point-and-click dans le monde réel.

Des salles aux ambiances variées ont commencé à fleurir partout jusqu’à ce que la crise sanitaire oblige les professionnels du secteur à revenir sur du digital, en mode distance ou en visioconférence.

If we talk about Escapes games within an organisation, they are not just leisure moments, they also allow to :

  • promote communication and organisation within a group
  • to motivate participants in learning through playfulness
  • using collective intelligence
  • develop a sense of observation
  • se servir d’un format original pour revoir les notions d’une formation ou pour en introduire de nouvelles

Basically, you break out of the routine by transferring knowledge in a different way!

Vous transformez vos formateurs en maîtres du jeu et vos collaborateurs en joueurs tout en restant dans un contexte d’apprentissage.

Les Escapes Games en entreprise, c’est donc possible ! En live, en visio, ensemble ou seul, laissez-vous tenter !

From traditional training to active training, how to make the shift?

From traditional training to active training, how to make the shift?

Simply put, Any 2.0 trainer dreams of turning a powerpoint and a series of quizzes into an interactive and immersive experience. Do the many collaborative tools really allow this? What about games? Not serious enough, you said?

Simply put, Any 2.0 trainer dreams of turning a powerpoint and a series of quizzes into an interactive and immersive experience. Do the many collaborative tools really allow this? What about games? Not serious enough, you said?

Gamification is successful when it enables learners to be more effective because they have understood the levers and issues that govern their work environment. The transition from traditional training to digital training is then successful.

How can this be achieved?

Transforming a traditional training course requires the designer to think differently, to ask questions.

What should learners remember?

What will really help them to become more qualified?

What will enable them to improve their daily work?

Once the answers are found, the transformation can take place:

  • The issues of digital training will become game objectives.
  • The tricky points will become obstacles to be identified, overcome or puzzles to solve.

Start your digital training with a bang!

Immerse your participants in a storytelling, an investigation or an escape game!
Then launch your first activity: get them to interact!
Set the tone for your experiential training!

L’objectif est de jongler avec les principes, de se familiariser avec les notions complexes, de s’approprier les nouvelles connaissances et d’acquérir de nouveaux soft skills.
And thanks to the various levers of the game, game based-learning makes it very easy to implement this active teaching method.

In addition to the validation quizzes, the scoring and the rewards at the end of the training session, it allows the participants to play and manipulate complex concepts, thus placing them in an active position.

Game based-learning is within everyone's reach! You just need to get started...!
