Gamification is an excellent way to engage people in your organization in a fun and interactive way. Greene County, Ohio did just this by creating escape room packets to teach about records management policies and processes. In this immersive session, Greene County brings their escape room to the Hofbrauhaus! After learning how Greene County created and rolled out their training, we’ll break into small groups to experience records management education/awareness in a fun and challenging way. Will your knowledge help you to escape? Additionally, you will receive puzzle and story ideas to guide you in creating your own records management training escape room.

Will you escape? Join us for a fun, yet educational, event!

In order for Greene County to prepare the escape room packets, please sign up as soon as possible.
