A Sample Game Plan for a Scavenger Hunt/Escape Room Activity
Safety training related to disaster preparedness can be greatly enhanced by adding in hands-on activities. I am sharing one of my favorites activity that can be adapted for any facility facing any type of disaster.
The activity is a combination scavenger hunt and escape room.
To create your own scavenger hunt/escape room activity for a disaster preparedness class, think about 6-10 key locations related to disaster preparedness. For example, a meet-up point, control panels, and shelter locations are possibilities. Next, create a clue for each location and place that clue in a different location. To start the activity, give trainees the first clue, which will lead them to the first key location, where they will find the next clue, and so on. To add in characteristics of an escape room, make the clues more challenging such as providing a puzzle or rhyme that must be solved. The possibilities are endless as are the customization options for your organization.
