One of the most innovative gamification techniques emerging in the current educational context is the escape room, whose implementation aims to promote student motivation and learning. A review of the literature shows that many of the previous works lack a solid theoretical basis when it comes to explaining the motivational effects associated with student participation in this experience. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between gamification and motivation and identify which dimensions of gamification experience—through an educational escape room—better predict students’ motivation, based on the framework of self-determination theory. (2) Methods. This research develops a quantitative and correlational methodology. A total of 135 first-year university students participated. (3) Results. The results of the regression models showed that creative thinking, activation, and dominance predicted intrinsic motivation toward knowledge, achievement, and stimulating experiences. Likewise, a higher level of negative affect was predictive of amotivation and external regulation motivation in students. (4) Conclusions. These findings provide new empirical evidence that could guide the design of educational experiences through escape rooms in the context of higher education. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.3 2023 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 159 / 358 = 0.444 2023 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 66 / 182 = 0.363 2023 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 58 / 91 = 0.637 2023 Q3 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 58 / 91 = 0.637 2023 Q3 T2 0.672 2023 Geography, Planning and Development 2023 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Computer Networks and Communications 2023 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2023 Q2 Hardware and Architecture 2023 Q2 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2023 Q2 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2023 Q2 6.8 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Mauri, Marta Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3411-4930 Cardoso, María Jesús Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-4252-9546 Palomera, Raquel 4001 215 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
