Escape Rooms as a method of teaching Non-technical Skills: A Narrative Review

Philip Chiang, Gordon Cooper.


Abstract
With growing recognition of the importance of Non-technical skills (NTS) within medicine, escape games have been suggested as an effective learning platform for teaching learners the importance of communication, team-working, and problem-solving in low-stakes and interactive environment. Increased learner enjoyment, memorability and willingness to participate again are sources of positive feedback for this learning methodology with regards to enhancing the participant’s NTS.

However, there is a lack of evidence supporting the use of this technique in bringing meaningful education to a clinical environment, certainly when compared to the more robustly studied conventional methodologies which are currently employed including high fidelity simulation.

This paper explores the use of the escape room methodology for the above topic and evaluates that whilst there is currently only limited evidence to support the incorporation of these games into a formal curriculum, some promising signs that this technique has the potential to be a low cost validated teaching method.

Key words: Non-Technical Skills (NTS), Escape Games, Simulation Teaching Learning
