In recent years, the way in which mathematics is taught has changed radically and there has been an increase in the percentage of online classes. One of the biggest challenges that teachers face in this type of online scenario is the need to motivate students so that they do not lose the thread and continue with their usual rhythm and seek methodologies that facilitate the teaching–learning process. The growth of educational technology has become a powerful ally in carrying out this study. This study presents the use of a digital Escape Room in an online scenario for teaching mathematics in the first course of engineering. To measure the results, a pretest–posttest experience has been considered with two different groups of the first course of engineering in an online university. Some comparison tests of the qualifications obtained by both groups shows that, despite they were homogeneous in terms of previous knowledge of calculus in the beginning, the differences obtained between those who have used the Escape Room instead of the traditional methodology are significative. In addition, the effect sizes obtained were intermediate and also considering the results of the survey allows us to conclude that the use of the digital Escape Room is a very good tool for teaching Calculus in Engineering. Finally, it is also important to highlight that the satisfaction of the student with respect to the experience has been very high and they asked for more experiences like this.
