At the moment of submitting this talk there are 500+ escape rooms in The Netherlands alone. By the time SHA takes place there might be over 600. However, not all rooms are equal, and there is a vast difference in escape room experiences and quality. This talk, presented by an experienced escape room designer, will go in to all the facets of designing and building an escape room. It will show how to create the best experience for the players, the pitfalls and how to design the puzzles and puzzle flows. It will further give an insight in to the technique used behind the sound, lightning and puzzle interactions. #PhysicalSecurity #Making
