Game design in action: English Escape seminar playtests their designs

Students sitting around a table solving a breakout game. You see
different boxes, locks, hasps, documents, artefacts and pens on the table and
in the hands of players. 

Will it work? Do we need more scaffolding? Seeing your own game in action for the first time can be very exciting! Students in the “English Escape: Breakout games and gamification in the EFL classroom” seminar spent a full-day session trying and critiquing each other’s games. The observations and the feedback gathered will informed the revisions of their games – before they, in the last phase of their projects – playtest their games at local schools.
