In this escape room article, students explore colour change reactions to reveal hidden codes

Escape room activities can be a fun and visual way to teach chemistry. In this set of five puzzles, students learn about colour changing reactions using different solutions. Each puzzle reveals a hidden code to unlock the next box and eventually the reward. The task develops problem-solving skills, practical abilities and knowledge.
