Course Overview
Explore the power of Fortnite’s fantastic Creative Mode to build a digital Escape Room. Escape Rooms are some of the most fun you can have using your brain.

And sometimes all of the above!
Now Epic Games’ Fortnite Creative Mode engine allows us to make our own environments, game scenarios and rules of play, and we can try our hand at building Escape Rooms.
Led by our Fortnite-loving, escape room building genius, you’ll think of different ways to set tests and trials for your Fortnite friends.
