Summer 2020
Creative Writing Students Launch Free Digital Escape Room
While learning about writing mystery fiction, Professor Rysavy’s Writing Genre Fiction class developed a murder-mystery party game, which they had planned to hold in May as a fundraiser for the campus Closet and Rainbow House. Unfortunately, COVID-19 hit before that could happen, so they turned their party game into a digital escape room!
“There’s more text to this game because it was a creative writing project, so go in expecting to read more story than in the average digital escape room,” says Rysavy. “We were all sad when our murder-mystery party had to be canceled, so I’m glad we were able to turn it into something quarantine-friendly.”
