Now it’s getting (radio)active: In our escape rooms, exciting topics relating to radioactivity are explored in a playful way, helping to consolidate knowledge in the long term.
How to play
Puzzle cards, multiple-choice cards and other materials guide players through different stories. They must answer various questions on the topic of radioactivity and solve logic puzzles to make their way towards the exit.
If they encounter any difficulties, help cards are available for each puzzle.
If time is short, each game can be paused at any point across the three rooms into which it is divided.
Borrowing
Three different Exit games can be borrowed from the IRS, or the materials can be downloaded from this website to print out.
Each game focuses on a different theme and takes players on a different adventure.

Fundamentals of Nuclear Physics and Radioactivity (Trapped at Wismut)
This exit game sends players on a school trip to the Ore Mountains. During the night, they sneak into the SDAG Wismut uranium mine. The way out is blocked, so players must solve puzzles on topics such as the nomenclature of atomic nuclei, types of radiation, how to use the nuclide chart, and logic puzzles in order to find their way out.

Natural radioactivity
In this exit game, the players are on their way back from a school trip, but their luggage has been taken aside for inspection by the airport’s radiation safety officer because of the stones they brought back from the Ore Mountains. To get their luggage back, the players must solve puzzles on topics such as terrestrial radiation, indoor radon, primary cosmic radiation and logic puzzles.
-
Dosimetry (Escape from Chernobyl)
The players take part in a tour inside the damaged Chernobyl nuclear power plant. In the control room of the former Reactor 4, the guide leaves the group on their own. To find their way out, the players must solve puzzles on topics such as radiation damage, the 3-A rule, ionising radiation dose, energy dose and other dose-related concepts, as well as logic puzzles.
