Escape Room: Desaparecido... Una historia de fútbol

This Escape Room experience includes a number of Global Citizenship/Geographic elements, including:
- 'traveling' to several international locations, using the FIFA World Cup locations as a basis
- identifying maps using online resrouces and locating related countries on a map
- use of geographic co-ordinates to find locations using Google Earth or Google Maps

Escape room style challenges support the development of many life skills, including:
- Teamwork: sharing ideas and engaging in discussions, ultimately develops essential social, communication and negotiation skills
- Problem Solving through Critical Thinking: requires an open-mind and using reason and evidence to draw logical conclusions
- Problem Solving through Abstract Thinking: using different perspectives to determine the correct approach
- Confidence Building: cracking a code provides a huge amount of self-satisfaction; even incorrect answers offer a positive contribution through the process of elimination
- Time Management: with only 45 minutes to solve the puzzles and "escape" the room, teams needs to strategize and devise ways in which to work efficiently and accurately.
- Attention to Detail: the key is often in the detail, requiring focus and concentration so nothing is missed.

Students will learn through an immersive experience involving an adventure to find the team goalie, who has gone missing from the airport as you are about to board a flight to a soccer competition.
