Health professional educators are increasingly using escape rooms as a teaching tool. Given the fast development in their use, investigators have chosen varied assessment approaches to evaluate the instructional rooms. Considering educational escape rooms is a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) process based on various criteria. This study proposed a MADM model to assess the educational escape rooms. This study used the VIKOR MADM method to evaluate the criteria and alternatives. This evaluation is made under a neutrosophic set to overcome the uncertainty information. We collected fourteen criteria and ten alternatives in this study. We employed a sensitivity analysis to show the proposed model's effectiveness and the results' stability. The analysis shows the results are stable.
