As regular readers know, I’m a big fan of having my English Language Learner students play online video games as a language development activity (see POINTING AND CLICKING FOR ESL: Using Video Games To Promote English Language Development).
Escape The Room games are one of my favorite game “genres,” where players have to…escape from a room by clicking on objects and using them in a certain way and/or order. Most of these games also have a text component.
Now, a new free tool has come online, the Room Escape Maker, that lets anybody create their own….escape the room games. It requires a little more of a learning curve than I would like, but I think it has some potential.
I’m adding it to The Best Websites For Creating Online Learning Games.
Not liking this site. Sign in and username is required and I’m waiting and waiting and re-emailing over again to try to get access.
You can test the application without signing in. Just go to http://roomescapemaker.com/new
