Recreating the escape room experience at home can be fun not only for the players, but also for you while designing and building it.

Thank You Vancouver Creative Technology!

We recently had the pleasure of speaking at the Vancouver Creative Technology meetup about some of the technologies and projects we are working on. Our CEO Jeff Jang went over the challenges we face in trying to setup our experiences in challenging locations while still trying to raise the bar in the technologies and theming we use.

The Vancouver Creative Technology Meetup is a group of people who use technology for creative expression. We gather monthly to share ideas, get inspired, and build our community. We're interested in learning about technology and art, finding inspiration and collaborators, and getting help and feedback on our projects.

Unlike the real world however, escape rooms tend to have a narrative and goals for us to follow.
