Puzzle rooms, recently termed "escape rooms," have been in existence for several years and are increasing in popularity in the United States. These experiential learning rooms create an inviting learning environment for both the academic and acute care learner. Learners are placed in strategic cooperative learning groups to promote teamwork, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. Participation in an escape room can be used to reinforce policies and procedures that are standard in nursing practice. Overall acceptance of this novel idea in nursing was positive for registered nurse, student, and community member outcomes; evaluations were affirmative for learning engagement.
