The PES Energy Escape Room is an interactive, team-based activity designed to engage participants in realistic power system challenges while working under time-limited conditions. Teams must collaborate to solve a sequence of technical and logical tasks, including:

• Restoring a simulated blackout by balancing electricity generation and load demand.

• Decoding and locating a fault in a transmission line using provided system clues and data.

• Matching renewable energy sources with suitable weather conditions to ensure grid stability.

Through this dynamic format, the activity promotes teamwork, critical thinking, and a practical understanding of power system operations, making it a distinctive and engaging PES Day event.
