Conundrum Escapes offers a unique opportunity for kids to design and build their own escape room games, board games, or tabletop roleplaying game experiences using STEM principles.
Conundrum Escapes Camps offer engaging summer programs focused on game design and STEM principles. In the Escape Room Camp, kids aged 8 to 16 learn to create their own escape room games, focusing on puzzle design, balancing fun and difficulty, and enhancing playability through setting and characters. The Board Game Camp, for ages 10 to 16, explores storytelling through board games and guides campers in designing their own using STEM principles. For those interested in tabletop roleplaying, the Gamemaster Camp (ages 11-15) teaches how to create compelling characters, navigate engaging storylines, and collaborate to solve challenges in games like Dungeons and Dragons. These camps emphasize teamwork, creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking, fostering socioemotional skills to become collaborative, strategic, responsible, and welcoming gamers. The curriculum is inspired by and strives to meet Next Generation Science Standards in engineering design.
Campers engage in hands-on activities, learning game design fundamentals, prototyping their own games, and participating in playtesting sessions to refine their creations.
The ideal student is a child or teen who loves games and is eager to explore game design, problem-solving, and creative thinking in a collaborative environment.
