Abstract The chemical escape room (ChEsRm) is an interactive educational game that integrates chemistry knowledge into the puzzles to stimulate students’ learning interests in chemistry and cultivate their problem-solving competency. It can not only help to diagnose students’ learning, but also contribute to assisting their review, facilitating conceptual learning, and enhancing laboratory skills. The study adopts the theme of “redox reaction” in the compulsory course of high school chemistry, and introduces the development process and crucial specifications of ChEsRm. The software of PowerPoint is employed. The process is composed of the determination of targets, the design of puzzles, the preparation of materials, the making of game, and etc. The study provides implications for teachers to design the educational games of chemistry.
