From the 13th to the 20th of May 2025 we organized in Estonia the international training course “EduEsc”: a training course that gathered 30 youth workers from all over Europe to reinvent escape games for educational purposes. Here are the personal reviews of Valeriia and Andrew:
“I have participated in many trainings, but this one really stood out. The atmosphere in the group was incredibly motivating – open, creative and full of mutual support. It was easy to share ideas, build on each other’s contributions and actually create something valuable together.
I have always liked quest games, but until now, developing my own quest box seemed like a mystery. The structure of the program really helped – we went step by step: starting with building a story, then putting together puzzles, and finally combining all this into a full-fledged game. It made the whole process much more accessible.
I am sincerely proud of what we created, and I left the training full of ideas and motivation. And besides the educational part, I really appreciated the cultural experience, from exploring the Old Town to using the sauna.”
“This project gave me a great hands-on experience — we explored how escape boxes work, created our own, and tested them with other teams. It was fun and really valuable! I also enjoyed discovering local culture, walking through the Old Town, and even trying out the sauna.”
