Coming up with an escape room game can be a challenging process, but at the same time it is also a lot of fun to do! Here are some steps to get you started in creating your own escape room game:
1. Objective & Target group
Describe the objective of your escape room, what do you want to achieve? And who will play your escape room, who is your target group? If you want to develop an escape room for large groups, consider how many people should be able to play your escape room at the same time.
2. Choose a Concept
Think about what theme you want to use for your escape room. The theme can vary from a mysterious detective room or a sea level rising theme. Choosing a compelling theme will enhance the gaming experience and draw participants into a compelling story.
2. Design the story
Bring your theme to life by coming up with a compelling story that will form the basis of your escape room. Use storytelling. Think about the background of your game, any characters involved, and the goal the players need to achieve to escape. Make sure the story is challenging and intriguing, but also logical and consistent within the context of the theme.
3. Create puzzles and challenges
The overarching thinking is done, now you can get started on designing your escape room. Puzzles and challenges are at the heart of an escape room and are essential for creating excitement and encouraging players to work together. Think about different types of puzzles, such as combination locks, riddles, hidden clues, physical challenges and more. Make sure that the puzzles are logical, but also fit within the theme and story of the escape room. Finally, everything must match your target group.
4. Design your game
Visualize the game layout and think about how you want to organize the game to optimize the gaming experience. Think about materials and decorative elements to create an immersive and realistic game. Make sure the game is safe and has enough space for the number of players who will be playing your game. There should be enough to do for everyone.
5. Test and refine
Before you let your audience play your escape room game, it is important to thoroughly test your game and identify any errors or problems. Invite a group of friends or family members to play the game and ask for feedback on the puzzles, the flow of the game, and any technical issues. Use this feedback to refine and improve the escape room game before you officially launch it.
With these steps as a guide, you can unleash your creativity and create an engaging and challenging escape room game that will surprise and enchant participants.
Have fun thinking up and designing your own escape room!
