Every lock, every light,
every room —
one command center.
Run unlimited escape rooms from a single dashboard. Open doors, trigger effects, react to sensors, and time sessions perfectly. Powered by rugged ESP32 controllers you install once and forget about.
Features
Everything you need to run a great room
Built from real escape rooms — every feature exists because a game master asked for it.
Multi-Room Dashboard
Color-coded tabs for every game. Group devices by area (Store, Reception, Office). Live status, instant lock/unlock, brightness sliders, and bulk actions in one click.
Visual Rule Builder
WHEN a sensor triggers, THEN do actions. No code. Connect magnetic reed switches to door unlocks, light cues, and effects with drag-and-drop.
ESP32 Hardware, Battle-Tested
Rugged industrial controllers with 8 relays, 8 inputs, DMX512 chain, and Ethernet. Install once, configure anytime over Wi-Fi.
Game Timer with Live Activity Log
Countdown timer, automatic time-up alerts, and a live feed of every rule trigger, sensor change, and device toggle — perfect for post-game review.
Excel-Powered Setup
Technician fills a template once. PowerShell pushes config to the controller. Game master imports the same file into the app. Zero retyping.
Pop-Out Game Windows
Run multiple rooms side-by-side on multiple monitors. Each game gets its own window with full timer, controls, and activity feed.
Visual Rule Builder
If the player does this,
the room does that.
Connect any sensor to any device — locks, lights, special effects — without writing a single line of code. Auto-revert timers, multi-action chains, cross-game rules. Built for game masters, not developers.
All your rules at a glance
Browse, enable, edit, or duplicate any rule. Filter by game. Visual badges show the sensor pin, trigger condition, and action count — review your room's logic in seconds.
No code. Just dropdowns.
Pick a controller, choose a sensor pin, pick the trigger condition, and add one or more actions with optional delays. In-line help guides every field. Build a complex puzzle chain in under a minute.
Multi-action chains
Unlock door, dim lights, play sound — all from one trigger.
Auto-revert timers
Unlock for 5 seconds, then re-lock. Configurable per action.
Cross-controller logic
A sensor on one ESP32 can trigger devices on any other ESP32.
A Tour of the App
Every screen, built for operators
From the live game master view to deep hardware configuration — every screen exists to solve a real problem.
Multi-room pop-out windows
Run each room in its own window — perfect for multi-monitor setups where one game master oversees several rooms at once.
Unlimited games, organised
Add as many games as you need. Each game gets its own color, devices, and rules. Reorder tabs to match your booking flow.
Centralised controller management
Every ESP32 in one list. See online status at a glance. Import from Excel, edit IPs, or remove with a click.
Hardware module mapping
DMX relay boards, DMX light boards, and PCF8574 input expanders — all auto-tracked with their channel counts and device assignments.
Every device, fully searchable
Filter by type, game, or status. Quick on/off toggle, inline edit, and full device history — without leaving the page.
Audit trail for every action
Time-stamped log of every device toggle, rule trigger, and sensor change. Filter by type or time range. Debug post-game incidents in seconds — never guess "what happened" again.
How It Works
From wiring to live game in 5 steps
Set it up once. Run rooms forever.
Wire & flash
Mount the ESP32 controller, set DIP switches on DMX boards, connect devices and sensors. Flash firmware once via USB — that's the last time you'll need it.
Fill the Excel template
Open the template, list your devices (locks, lights, effects) and sensors. Auto-calculated Device IDs, dropdowns for types — no math required.
Push config over network
One PowerShell command sends the Excel sheet to the controller via HTTP. Controller saves to flash and reboots ready.
Import into the app
Open the dashboard → Settings → Import Excel. Game, devices, controller — all created automatically. Drag-and-drop rules to connect inputs to outputs.
Run sessions
Hit START, watch the timer, react to hints. The system handles auto-revert, sensor logic, and time-up alerts so you can focus on the players.
