WHAT IS BREAKOUT EDU? BreakoutEDU takes the appeal of the "escape room," a recreational team sport in which a group of people use their wits to break out of a locked room, and turns it inside out. Instead of a locked room, teams must figure out how to unlock a series of various types of locks using their prior knowledge, investigation and research skills.
