Escape rooms as an interactive learning experience: insights into designing a radiology-themed escape room and exit survey data.
Article in Insights into imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesEscape rooms provide an interactive learning experience, combining clinical knowledge with problem-solving and teamwork. A radiology-themed escape room has been organized at the European Congress of Radiology in 2019 and 2023-2025, with over 900 people participating in total. The process of developing a radiology-themed escape room is discussed, and the results of a participant survey are presented. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe development of a radiology-themed escape room was based on five steps. Initially, an overarching concept was chosen, then multiple puzzle ideas were brainstormed. These were linked together to form a story, and then fully developed with relevant images and materials. Finally, the room was tied together, and a fitting atmosphere was created. Participants in 2025 were asked to complete a survey with questions on their training status, the challenges that they found most difficult, and their thoughts on the activity as a learning tool and for improving teamwork.
resultsThree different concepts of radiology-themed escape rooms were developed for the congresses from 2019 to 2025. The overarching concepts were a polytrauma situation, a thrombectomy for fulminant pulmonary embolism, and a tumor board, respectively. Two hundred ninety people participated in 2025, and 149 completed the exit survey; 66.7% of participants were able to complete the room in time. Enjoyment, learning, and team building were all rated highly by participants.
conclusionA development process for designing a radiology-themed escape room is presented. A prior implementation shows an enjoyable and educational experience for radiologists and other medical professionals. CRITICAL RELEVANCE: Insights are given on the development of a radiology-themed escape room, providing a unique interactive learning opportunity for residents that incorporates image interpretation with teamwork and cognitive puzzles, resulting in an enjoyable educational experience. KEY POINTS: A step-by-step guide on developing a radiology-themed escape room is presented. Radiological escape rooms provide an enjoyable, educational, and team-building experience. Interactive learning experiences could play a larger role in modern radiology education.
