Frequently Asked Questions
What escape room technology services do you offer?
We design, build, and install complete show control systems, PLC automation, custom prop and puzzle electronics, RFID and sensor interactions, lighting, audio, and pneumatic effects, from initial concept through grand opening, and on-site anywhere in the country.
Do you build new escape rooms or only fix existing ones?
Both, though our focus is building new rooms from the ground up and engineering custom puzzles and props. We also take over, troubleshoot, and upgrade systems other builders left behind.
What makes your escape room technology different?
We engineer with industrial-grade PLC control and commercial components built to reset flawlessly thousands of times, not hobbyist electronics. That reliability is how we’ve helped create multiple TERPECA-award-winning and top-ranked rooms.
Can you create custom puzzles and props?
Yes. Custom puzzle mechanics, RFID and sensor-triggered reveals, bespoke control panels, and one-of-a-kind props with embedded electronics are a core specialty, designed, fabricated, and integrated in-house.
Do you travel for escape room installations?
Yes. We work with clients nationwide and travel on-site to install, commission, and support escape room and attraction technology wherever the project is.
