Introduction
Escape rooms games - participants are locked in a room and must work together to solve puzzles within a set time frame to escape.
Digital Educational Escape Rooms (DEERs) incorporate elements of game-based learning but, use the internet and digital platforms and elements (Makri et al., 2021).
Teachers play a crucial role in creating effective DEERs that align with educational goals and promote student engagement (Lopez-Pernas et al., 2021).
To develop DEERs, teachers need to possess specific competencies that enable them to design interactive and challenging experiences (Rouse, 2017).

Competencies in developing DEERs
In this article the key principles and competencies are based on examples of recent research:
Pedagogical principles and content knowledge
(Rouse, 2017; Reuter et al., 2020)
Digital Creative Pedagogies (DCP)
(Barajas et al., 2019; Frossard et al., 2015)
Design thinking
(Bressler & Annetta, 2022; Loveless et al., 2006)
Teacher Digital Competencies (TDC)
(Falloon, 2020)
Collaboration and teamwork
(Pornsakulpaisal et al., 2023; Reuter et al., 2020)

Pedagogical principles & knowledge
One of the primary challenges is the requirement to possess a deep understanding of pedagogical principles.
Establish learning goals
(Rouse, 2017; Reuter et al., 2020)
Consider the cognitive abilities of students
(Pornsakulpaisal et al., 2023; Veldkamp et al., 2020)
Establish tasks that contribute to the learning goals
(Pornsakulpaisal et al., 2023)
Align a storyline that integrates to the subject-matter
(Clarke et al., 2017; Rouse, 2017)

Digital Creative Pedagogies (DCP)
DCP involves the use of digital technology to increase creative teaching methods (one way to implement DCP is through the integration of manipulative technologies i.e., using digital figures and puzzles)
(Barajas et al., 2019; Frossard et al., 2015)

Design thinking
Design thinking includes the ability to design narratives, develop puzzles and tasks effectively and enables to adapt the game to the subject matter learned (Bressler & Annetta, 2022; Pornsakulpaisal et al., 2023) .
Storytelling and designing narrative
Engaging in an iterative process
(Bressler & Annetta, 2022; Loveless et al., 2006)
Develop challenging puzzles and tasks
Developing prototype and testing

Teacher Digital Competencies
Teacher Digital Competencies (TDC) emphasizes the skills and capabilities required to seamlessly integrate digital resources (Falloon, 2020).
Multimedia Integration
Digital Content Creation
Digital Technological Proficiency
Data Management

Collaboration and teamwork
Teachers may need to work in teams with other educators, subject matter experts, or instructional designers.
Open communication and collaboration promote the exchange of ideas, feedback, and resources, leading to improved DEERs. Collaboration also encourages practice and by gathering feedback from colleagues, and making necessary corrections teachers improve their DEERs.

Conclusions
Developing DEERs requires teachers to possess a range of competencies and unique knowledge.
With these insights, teachers can leverage the potential of DEERs.
Promoting dedicated training programs for teachers may encourage the adoption of this educational approach of DEERs in teaching.
