A one-group quasi-experimental research design was adopted, carrying out pre-test post-test analysis. Each participant completed assessments at two time points: before engaging escape rooms (T0) after (T1). The assessment tools included Goal Assessment Scale (GAS) Perceived Climate Self-Efficacy Scale. Our findings revealed no significant gender differences goal achievement. T0, females exhibited higher levels perceived climate self-efficacy both individual collective dimensions. Instead, appeared particularly effective increasing among male participants. results suggest that hold potential enhancing self-efficacy, although baseline efficacy warrant further exploration.
