Case Study: University of Hertfordshire saves hundreds of staff hours with ThingLink virtual escape room

Hundreds of Student Inductions Delivered with a ThingLink Virtual Escape Room

The University of Hertfordshire faced a significant challenge with its student induction process, which relied on costly and time-consuming in-person tours of its Learning Resource Centres. These tours consumed hundreds of staff hours for training and delivery, offered a inconsistent learning experience, and became increasingly difficult to resource.

The university implemented a gamified virtual escape room created with ThingLink. This innovative solution allowed students to complete their induction as a self-guided activity, blending digital puzzles with a physical scavenger hunt across the campus. The ThingLink escape room saved the university hundreds of staff hours, provided a more engaging and effective learning experience for students, and received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
