Abstract

After introducing the gamification as a didactic resource, the characteristics of a particular tool, the escape room, are discussed and information about a specific case is explained. The case was prepared as a review activity for the subject Physics and Chemistry of the 3rd course of the Compulsory Secondary Education. It was endowed with a multidisciplinary character, including environmental awareness as guiding theme, exercises that included concepts from different subjects and taking into consideration skills, attitudes and knowledge contained in key competences. Students who participated by teamwork showed great involvement and had fun at the same time. They mentioned that they would like these type of activities to be more often implemented.
