The Escape Room scenario is based on the STAR model for Educational Escape Rooms. The model is made up of five game elements and four context elements:

Narrativ

is a key feature of every Educational Escape Room. The overarching theme links the individual puzzles together and tells a story that forms a common storyline from individual puzzles. At its best, it assigns an active role to the players, thereby promoting immersiveness8 and engagement.

Game-Flow

describes how the Educational Escape Room works and what pattern the game structure follows.

Puzzles

represent the individual levels of the Educational Escape Room. 

Equipment

These must be used to solve the puzzles.

Learning Outcome

is the most important aspect of an Educational Escape Room.
