Game design tips from Breakout EDU:

• ​Most games are best played with 8-12 players; 2 kits per class, with the two boxes setup on different sides of the classroom, and teams sharing and interacting.
• Create a compelling story to introduce the game
• Include clear instructions
• Determine which locks the game will use
• Limit printables that will impact prep time; save as PDF files
• Try to create puzzles that can be used many times
• Use one Google Drive folder to store everything for the game
  • Consider PDF formats, or force others to make a copy of originals
• Include reflection questions
