Résumé
Many people view escape rooms as challenging and fun. They require teams to communicate and work together effectively to solve puzzles to unlock the door to escape. Health care educators have recently used this dynamic format to provide teams with an engaging teaching modality. This article details the case study of combining an escape room with simulation-based education to form a dynamic teaching modality on proper cardiac arrest management. A group of nearly 70 nurses participated. This study uses a pretest-posttest to measure learning, a skills checklist to measure performance, and an evaluation to measure students' reactions. Results showed statistically significant increases in nurses' code policy knowledge and response. Participants viewed this education as effective and fun. This study provided evidence of the teaching effectiveness of escape rooms and is a solid springboard for future researchers to conduct additional simulation-based escape rooms with larger, broader populations. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(3):118-122.].
