Escape rooms are a current fad sweeping across the county in which teams of players are usually “locked” in a room and have to solve a series of puzzles serially or in parallel to “escape” the room. This escape room concept was adapted at the University of Minnesota with the intention that teams of interprofessional students would work together to complete a series of puzzles found throughout the room. The experiences are embedded in a health care case scenario. This innovative gaming simulation can improve interprofessional communication and team skills.  The University of Minnesota has licensed detailed guidebooks, available at the link provided, for both earlier learners and advanced learners.
