2 What is Breakout EDU? Breakout EDU is an immersive, game-based learning platform. Breakout EDU games consist of a physical and/or digital puzzle elements that must be solved in a set amount of time. Players of all ages are challenged to open the locked Breakout EDU box or complete the digital form using critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. Jen

3 How to Play a Breakout EDU Game?
Look around for clues and artifacts that will help provide information needed to figure out the combinations. Talk with your group and share what you're thinking about the clues. You might need to think outside the box in order to break into it. Test out what you think you know!  Try the combinations you think will work.  If you're wrong, think some more and try again. Remove all locks from the box or enter all correct combinations on the form before the timer runs out to complete the game. Val- general how to play
