Unlocking Ideas: Using Escape Room Puzzles in a Cryptography Classroom
Anne M. Ho · PRIMUS · 2018
Escape rooms are an increasingly popular puzzle game, and educators have started implementing them in classrooms. This paper will describe the motivations and implementation of escape-room-like puzzles in an undergraduate cryptography course, including how the open-source mathematics software system SageMath is used. In addition, there is a discussion about generalizations of the activity to other courses.
