AB The Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach is presented as an innovativemethodology that integrates content and foreign language learning simultaneously. In thiscontext, educational escape rooms have emerged as an effective proposal that aims to addressclassroom dynamics by including gamified elements and other methodologies such ascooperative learning and problem-based learning (PBL). In the CLIL approach, specifically,educational escape rooms provide an interactive scenario for students who must solve a seriesof puzzles, challenges, or activities related to the content covered while reinforcing foreignlanguage learning. For this reason, this dissertation addresses the hypothetical introduction ofthe educational escape room into the first-year secondary school History curricula following aCLIL approach. This would be accomplished through the creation of a didactic proposal basedon the dimensions of life in Ancient Rome: society, politics, economics, art and religion.Through this proposal, students would be immersed in the heart of Rome, where they wouldencounter a mysterious character whose identity, they would have to reveal by following aseries of clues that would lead to the resolution of the final mystery. Thus, the aim of thisproposal would be to demonstrate the effectiveness of the educational escape room in the CLILapproach in terms of improving content acquisition in the subject of History and developingcommunication skills in a foreign language, in this case, English.
