Common law narratives and metanarratives: escape rooms as tools for exploring and challenging

This article addresses the reason why narrative is crucial to both the study and practice of law, and how an ability to critically assess accepted narratives is essential in the pursuit of justice and social inclusion. This contribution then considers the relationship between narratives and escape rooms, and ways in which these tools might assist in the dissection and reconstruction of overarching assumptions, concluding our discussion with a case study of an escape room which the authors have designed and constructed.
