Chris Johnson on 08 Sep 09Try playing through this "escape the room" type flash game. You have to conduct an experiment as part of the solution. In this case the experiment is trivial and its validity is questionable, but couldn't we create a similar game as a performance assessment? If you get stuck, you can click "walkthrough" for help (including a video of the solution). Yes, I know there are many advertisements. -
Xavier Rozas on 09 Sep 09Chris don't you find the spastic picking up and inspecting of random artifacts laying around the castle, maze, forest, etc..hoping for a dialogue box to blurt out '..Just a regular newspaper...But what's this, a secret code puzzle left unfinished?!' is a flat experience. Don't get me wrong, I love easter eggs, but the hunt is a pain in clunky 2D.

Consider the possibilities for a performance assessment while playing through this simple "escape the room" game. The validity of the experiment involved in the solution is questionable.

Escape games are very big in the publishing industry right now due mostly to their inquiry based assessment and the low development cost compared to highly immersive first-person games. The biology lab escape is one of the better ones that I've seen out there. Thanks Chris! -
I played for about 8 minutes and then grew tired of the game. I am curious how assessors would have graded my performance. I found the easier way to "escape the room" was to close the browser window.
