Alternatively, when you go to an escape room, try to figure out how the puzzles were implemented. I am guessing lots of custom Arduino. For example, one puzzle required entering a specific price into a cash register to get the cash register drawer to open. How would that be done?
- faitswulff 8y agoHah! I did one that involved that puzzle just a few hours ago. Was it in Chicago?
- lastofus 8y agoYou are correct that a lot of rooms are using off the shelf Arduinos, often with buttons/reed switches/RFID tags for inputs, hooked up to a relay + maglock for the output. Some of the higher end rooms will pay a little extra for PLCs such as the ones from AutomationDirect. Another somewhat common controller are the BooBox controllers which come from the haunt industry. A lot of haunters got into escape rooms as a way to supplement income the rest of the year.
