"Escape rooms are having a moment. They're the No. 1 local activity for a number of cities around the world on TripAdvisor, and they've been featured on reality shows such as "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." But don't worry if you've never heard of them; this is your explainer. Escape rooms are simply mental puzzles played out in the real world's 3-D glory."

Breakout games are currently very popular. Unlike their physical counterparts, Digital Breakouts do not have a physical component other than an Internet connected device. Digital Breakout games "promote the 4 C skills: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity, which are valuable skills students need as we progress through the 21st century and beyond. Additionally, some of the games include specific academic content." Source: https://sites.google.com/site/digitalbreakoutjb/faq
In this workshop you will learn how to create your own Digital Breakout using tools as Google Forms, Google Sites (or another website creator - such as Weebly) and/or a shared Google Doc. Participants will leave the workshop with a complete Digital Breakout.
