For the past several years, the Legal Writing Department at the University of Arizona College of Law has ended our fall semester with an Escape Room Competition for all 1L students. With COVID, doing a live Escape Room wasn't an option last Fall, but we didn't want to abandon our tradition, so we figured out how we could give our students a comparable experience online. Using readily available tools and websites (google and other internet sites) we were able to create a virtual escape room that required students to draw on the lessons from their Legal Research and Writing class to solve the clues and escape the room. Attendees do not need any special knowledge to attend the session and will, hopefully, be inspired to try something similar. It ended up being a creative way to engage our students and finish the semester on a positive note.
