Data Escape Room Gamified Learning App

The Data Escape Room is a groundbreaking, digital, eLearning tool, designed to improve data literacy for professionals, in an engaging, interactive format. This multi-player, immersive, and gamified learning experience leverages the concept of the escape room to facilitate data interpretation and analysis training.

Set in an engaging environment, brimming with dungeon or outer space-themed elements, participants solve problems collaboratively. Making decisions based on the data they uncover, whilst working towards a common goal of ‘escaping.’

Developed in React and Node.JS with serverless AWS architecture, the platform supports multiplayer, real-time communication, ensuring a seamless user experience. The infrastructure has been designed to scale for future escape room scenarios and other learning experiences.

The Data Escape Room represents a significant innovation in workplace training that goes beyond traditional online learning, addressing the business imperative for data literacy.
