A Gallup poll of 3000 students in the US found that only 32% of 11th graders said they felt engaged in schools. Many students don't have any engagement issues solving complex problems like those in an escape room.

Students remember the assignments better if they treat them like a time-sensitive mission, a crime scene investigation, or a muckrakers piece of investigative journalism.
