Proposal for Implementing Escape Room as an Innovative tool in teaching arts in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Abstract

The study aims to explore the concept of the Educational Escape Room (EER), and to highlight its effectiveness in the field of art education. It also seeks to present proposal for applying ER as an innovative educational tool in the context of art education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To achieve these goals, the descriptive-analytical approach is used. The study reviewed the previous literature that addressed the concept of the EER and clarified its key components. Additionally, it analyzed three empirical studies that explored escape rooms as innovative tools in art education. Based on these findings, a tailored proposal was developed for integrating escape room games into art education in Saudi Arabia. The study concluded that the escape room has proven effective as an innovative educational tool and can be applied across various disciplines including mathematics, science, and the arts. The findings support the feasibility of designing escape rooms inspired by the Saudi national curriculum, with potential implementation in Saudi museums to offer engaging and interactive learning experiences for visitors.
