Ian's Room
Ian's Room is a 14-week escape room project where we collaboratively create a compelling 45-minute escape room experience. Our focus is on the art of creating satisfying puzzles, the power of immersive storytelling, and the use of technology to enhance interactivity. Throughout the project, we advertise our escape room on campus and on social media. We sell tickets and host a total of 32 rounds of play.
