"Tilda and Lycka involved in the project Critical Escape had just finished up the work with our very first educational escape room about diabetes. The idea to create a room about diabetes came from Tilda who has the disease and wanted to teach other people what to do when someone gets acute hypoglycemia. While working with the room Lycka had learned a lot and while finishing up the work in the office, what happens? Tilda gets acute hypoglycemia! Good thing that Lycka had all the information she needed on what to do so everything worked out in the end. It is such a concrete example of how educational escape rooms actually can save lives"
