ESCAPE ROOM Design

23FA

In 2023 Fall, I took a class named “Escape Room Design,”

I get to work with 4 teammates and create this scary Escape Room in only 14 weeks.

Design docs from week 1 - 3

We decided to switch the theme to “Evil Cult”; luckily, we could still use many puzzles and scary plots we designed.

We begin to place all the puzzles into the empty “Cube.” We have to find out the best placement for each puzzle.

We first spent three weeks thinking about an escape room where players got kidnapped in an Egypt Lab.

Then we realized the room was getting well too complex, and it couldn’t be done with the budget and time we had.

The first few puzzles and the main decoration get playtested and confirmed during the process.

After week 5, we believe is enough pre-production, and it is time to put everything together, at a good production level, with only 9 weeks left.
