21 Educational Digi Games Tweens Will Enjoy

Are your kids tired of stories and colouring in? Do you have tweens and teens looking for something new and exciting to keep them entertained during lockdown? We’re helping you out with 21 digital escape rooms they’ll enjoy, courtesy of @funmammaSA.

What is an escape room?

It’s traditionally a locked room, in which you’re tasked to find clues to help you escape. You’ll need to solve each problem in order to move to the next clue.

Digital escape rooms give you a short story in reference to your theme with prompts leading to clues – all will need to be solved in order for you to escape.

Escape rooms help to build problem-solving skills and are great educational tools.
