One Way Out on GimKit

Escape the room.

One Way Out is an escape room in quiz form. Answer to unlock doors and collect keys. First out wins, or the class escapes together.

One Way Out puts kids on shared teams. Quieter students still earn money because the team bank adds up. Good for mixed-ability classes where you do not want one kid running away with the scoreboard.
