Designing a biochemical escape room for undergraduate students

Gamification is increasingly used in Higher Education to foster intrinsic motivation of undergraduate students. In this sense, we designed the Biochemical Escape Room. The students, organized in teams and through the overcoming of challenges, tackled the contents reviewed in the face-to-face classes...
