Description

The Mysterious Tower is a game inspired by popular Escape Rooms.

Instead of being locked in a room and searching for clues to escape, participants must solve a series of puzzles available on the web. Students access the site by scanning a QR code and must answer questions by observing/manipulating a large thematic structure of 6’x2”.

All the puzzles are associated with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The intention behind the game is to promote careers in STEM, particularly those related to the environment. The game can be used independently or as an educational tool in post-secondary education institutions.
